The first state up on the was...CALIFORNIA! Day #1
The California Community Colleges system is the largest system of higher education in the country! There are 116 community colleges in California and over 2.1 million students in the system. As you can tell I was very curious and interested in the environment at Barstow Community College 🐕😂🐿
In fact, one in every four community college students in the NATION attends a California community college. According to the California Community Colleges incredible webpage and data site, 29% of University of California graduates and 51% of California State University graduates started at a community college. Nearly 80,000 student each year to the University of California and California State University systems! And that is not including the numbers of students who transfer to other universities and private colleges that have great transfer supports such as Loyola Marymount University (shout out to Member Tom Gutto 😉) and others!
Having had the amazing opportunity of being a Transfer dog hanging out in the transfer center at UCLA, I got to see all the various UC campuses and their terrific transfer supports, so of course, I have to mention the AMAZING supports and throughout the UC system. UCLA Transfer Student Center, UCLA Center for Community College Partnerships, UCLA Engineering Transfer Center, TRV Program at UC Merced, UC Davis Transfer and Reentry Center, UCI Transfer Student Hub, UCR Transfer Resource Center, UCSB Transfer Student Center, UC Berkeley Transfer Student Center, UCSC Transfer Prep Program, STARS at UCSC, , , and sooooooo many other amazing resources!
There are sooooooo many Ca Community Colleges so we stopped at Barstow Community College to represent the 116 amazing Community College System! BCC is located on State Route 247 in the Mojave Desert region of San Bernardino County, CA., approximately 120 miles from both Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The college district covers the area from the Nevada state line, bounded by Kern and Inyo counties and the San Bernardino mountains. BCC serves the communities of Barstow, Lenwood, Newberry Springs, Daggett, Yermo, Hinkley, Ludlow, and Baker. Barstow Community College also provides on-site instruction to the U.S. Army National Training Center at Ft. Irwin and offers online classes through Distance Education.
