So excited when I saw this tour! I was so tired of doing all the research online and was hoping for some human guidance. Went to KL Hilton around 5pm with mum. The education fair was kinda big actually. Or maybe the function room was spacious XD Too bad there weren't many universities near the area I was supposed to go. Only 4 stars (place marks) in the California state, and only 2 around Los Angeles. One, Southwestern Academy, wasn't even there which left me with only ONE college rep to approach.
El Camino College is in LA, which isn't really near the place I'm supposed to go, but we decided to just get some advice in general (after coming all the way). The man was quite nice actually. He's not nice in the smiling face kinda way, but rather in his dead serious, dry humour manner of speaking =D Got some important advice though. According to him, the universities in US generally don't accept international students into their freshmen (1st) year, which means they were only accepted for transfers. Normally, we would have to go to a 2 year college, and then transfer to a 4-year university into the junior (3rd) year. Interesting.
Came back and did more research. Apparently, the 2 yr college and then going for the last 2 yrs in university would work out even better. Because the fees for a 2 yr college is much cheaper than a university. And the datelines were much kinder (not here yet). Narrowed down selection of colleges to two (by distance) - Mount San Antonio College and Chaffey Community College.
