It’s a really hard decision to choose between big and small campuses. The big ones will be good for meeting a lot of people, but the bad thing is that I would rarely get to see the people that I meet. I haven’t decided on which size campus I prefer yet. The school has to be in Southern California because I love the weather here and the Asian population is great! Billy Lin, 17, Wilson HS (Hacienda Heights) |
 |
I’m looking for scholarships, grants, loans, anything that will help me pay for college. I play football and hopefully I get a scholarship. Going out of state feels good but at the same time it’s scary. I don’t know too many people outside of California, but I could make it work. James Jones, 17, Washington Prep HS |
 |
I want to study nursing. I want to go where my mom went. She’s an RN and she went to Mount St. Mary’s. I’m looking forward to going there. Christine Grant, 17, Washington Prep HS |
 |
I’m not moving out of state. I don’t want to leave my mom. Tanequa Gray, 17, Washington Prep HS |
 |
I want to go to school somewhere in the Midwest, Chicago or Michigan. I want to see what other cities are like and see other places. Anthony Garcia, 17, Washington Prep HS |
 |
A campus that is not so big that I feel like I’ll get lost, but not so small that it feels like four more years of high school [and] a good business program that I can major in to be in hotel or restaurant management. Alison Quistberg, 18, Wilson HS (Long Beach) |
 |
I’m one of three children and I’m the first to go to college so financial aid is a major issue if I want to go to college. A campus near the beach in a big city close to home [and] a good academic reputation. Melissa Peterson, 17, Wilson HS |
 |
A good reputation, a pretty campus near home, a good photography program and a major in education so I can be a teacher. Britney White, 17, Wilson HS |
 |
I want my college to be somewhere close to home so I can live at home. It’ll be cheaper. I’m looking for grants, student loans. Gereke Cook, 17, Washington Prep HS |
