I'm originally from the east coast. I applied to schools on the west coast, and I'm glad I came out to the west. I love the atmosphere, and the people here. I currently go to University of the Pacific in Stockton, but due to my family's financial situation, we no longer can afford the school. It's way too expensive, and it's also a private school. I'm still in the stage where I don't exactly know what I want to do with my life, but my parents are constantly pushing me towards nursing. At first I wanted to go to med school, but now I'm believing that the work load would not be as beneficial to me as a person. I was thinking that I could go to nursing school. I like to help people (I was in my high school's key club, and liked volunteering at the soup kitchen). At Pacific I enjoyed taking intro to sociology and abnormal psychology. I also liked general bio (I liked the lectures) and gen chem (I liked the labs), but they were really difficult and are apparently notorious for being one of the more difficult subjects for general education in the school. I was just wondering what people think are pretty good standing, cheaper schools in California. I don't think I'd want to go to a UC (just because they're rather expensive) so maybe a CSU or other state college would be fine. Thank you for your input. I'll give them some consideration....
