Towards the "low end", one can live at home for two years and commute to a good Community College, and keep on track for their state university.   Then they enter the  state public university as a junior and get a bachelors degree in two years.  One could do that for under $60,000 for the Four years.A good student can also go directly to their state public university and get a bachelors degree in four years for $90,000 to $100,000 total.Private universities (like BU or NYU in major expensive cities) could cost as much as $75,000 per year.  All of that is Before any financial aid.Indeed, with some planning and the exercise of conducting a cost-effectiveness assessment, there is absolutely No reason that a student couldn't attend four years of college and get a bachelors degree and graduate with No more than $27,000 in Federal Direct Loans, total.  The question is:   Can you do a cost-effectiveness study?   If not, then you are not prepared to attend college......

In my state, Massachusetts, the cost to attend the various Community Colleges is essentially the same:Our Campuses | Massachusetts Community Colleges   I spot-checked three community colleges in three completely different regions and the cost of the courses (tuition and fees) are essentially the same.   NOTE:  some of the MA community colleges may have some special courses, and those may be more expensive.  However, for the same course at any of the several campuses across MA, the cost is essentially the same.   Indeed, that is the way it is supposed to be.

No, you cannot disregard the Berkeley semester, especially as most schools will believe that it's more credible than the community college grades.If the Berkeley grades are low, you might be able to transfer into a lesser school, but it would have to be a school where your Berkeley grades are competitive.

This all depends on your current GPA and/or location is California. Due to the fact that California is in a severe financial crisis, Colleges (especially State schools) have experienced major budget cuts which have cut many programs and laid off several instructors. That being said, many schools can no longer accept all qualified applicants. Local students to CSU's, do not need as high of a GPA as non-local students and can usually be accepted with a 2.4-2.5 depending on choice of major (please note that California UC's do not give first priority to local students and all applicants will be treated the same). Unless the student has taken most or all of their prerequisites at a local area CC, then they must go above and beyond in their major of choice to be admitted to certain colleges. These schools are the CSU's which are fully impacted (i.e. San Jose State, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Cal State Long Beach, Cal State Fullerton, San Diego State). If you want to better your chances of being accepted, I would advise becoming involved with extracurricular activities at your local CC (Whether it be student council, joining a social club, honors society, athletic team, theater, ambassador programs, abroad studying, volunteer work, etc.). State schools are much cheaper than the California UC's and therefore more sought after. In addition, the UC's and State schools have a different type of curriculum. The UCs are the research universities in California. That means that they are better funded, support graduate education, and tend to hire more renowned faculty within their fields. They may have professional schools, such as medical or law schools associated with them. On the negative side, you are more likely to have a lot of your teaching done by graduate student TAs, rather than by the professor him/herself. Your degree from a UC would have more prestige, and especially if you are in the physical sciences, you would have better lab facilities and more opportunities to be involved in research earlier in your education.  The CSUs are the teaching institutions in the state. You are more likely to be taught by the professor, but the professor won't have the "name" of the ones at UCs. Faculty at CSUs spend more of their time teaching, and less doing research. The system was originally designed for undergraduates only, but in more recent years has offered master's degrees and is now offering a very few, limited, doctorates in education (as far as I know, there aren't any doctorates in other fields at the CSUs). If you're a California resident and your GPA is between a 3.0-3.5, you may TAG into one (and only one) UC of your choice. Once the tag is approved, you'll be guaranteed admission as a transfer student for the fall semester if all requirements are met. As for out of state school transfers, they too are going to require a higher GPA than local applicants. However, if your GPA is competitive in the State of California, it will be competitive anywhere. Just make sure to get all the information that you can obtain from the school and check out their application deadlines, as it may be different from California colleges. Finally, make sure to speak to a counselor at your current CC to advise you on the courses that you should take to pursue the college of your choice. Good luck!

It should not take more than an hour. I strongly suggest you complete it with a college counselor so you are taking the correct courses.The TAG agreement is a wonderful partnership between CA community colleges and the UC system, so take advantage of this service.
