Why are so many students transferring to high end Universities right after High School?
I am a student at Chino High School, and through a unique Dual Enrollment program, I am on track to graduate with my High School Diploma, a College Diploma, and an Associate Degree in Studio Art all at 18 years old. Because of this program, my entire college education so far has cost me roughly half a thousand dollars. I see my peers celebrating their acceptances into high-end universities like UCI and UCLA, but I’m concerned for them. They are about to spend tens of thousands of dollars—and take on massive debt—just to complete the same CAL-GETC (General Education) requirements that I have already finished for next to nothing. By the time they even start their major-specific classes, they'll already be in a "financial grave." Is there a reason other students are making these decisions that my family has always advised against?
