Nothing Is Fine I'm Torn..between UC's and Cal States'

All four years of high school, I have been taking AP and Honors classes that require vast amounts of dedication and effort. I initially hope to be admitted to California State University of Long Beach and major in Nursing.  Although I plan on going to a Cal State, many of my peers, including teachers, have commented that it would not be worth all my years in high school taking AP and Honors classes if I end up going to a Cal State. At that point, the comments made about where I want to go have affected my decisions on whether to choose to go to a Cal State or a UC.  I want to attend a Cal State because I believe that I will only be getting the same education as I would at a UC. But also at the same time, I want to be able to know that my hard work from high school was worth a lot considering that I am working hard to get into a great college/university.  Should I consider what other people have told me and attend a UC, or follow my intuition and attend a Cal State?

  1. I think that you should go where you want to go which is Cal state Long Beach. And you worked really hard your whole high school career, which will allow you to take some great classes there. You'll also be saving alof of money.

  2. Deciding what college to attend after high school is something that is very important. It’s good to have an open mind and many options. While it wouldn’t hurt to consider to other options, what’s most important is that you are content with whatever final choice you make.
