美國幾間community college(urgent)

1. I won't worry about the transfer rate (except from UC Berkeley and UCLA). It is what your result helps you get into a school, not the school itself.

Marymount College, based on design, is not a community college as it offers 4-year Bachelor Degree program (although it also awards associate degree).

Based on UC's admission policy, if you are studying in a college that offer 4-year Bachelor Degree program (even you may not be in that program), your transfer chance will be reduced (Transfer admission priority is given to those from community college. Transfer from other universities/college will be at the bottom).

2. There is a phrase I always say in here - All California (public) community college are the same. Although Santa Monica College, De Anza College and Foothill College (techically, De Anza and Foothill are the same school) are popular choices, as a fact, you are not obligated to choose them.

What you should do is choose the school based on your proposed residence. For example, if you don't want to live in Cupertino (or nearby area), De Anza or Foothill is not your choice.

I can't tell you where you should live. But what you should do is to determine the following:

a. How can you go to school (and take care daily living)?

b. Can you afford the living (the nearby area of the colleges you mention has an extremely high cost of living)?

Enrollment does affect how easy you can enroll a course. But there are tricks to bypass that.

Your transfer (or graduation) will be definitely impacted if you choose California, as California has experienced serious budget issues for education.
