Her number 1 choice for colleges was CSU Fullerton (for advertisng - one of the few CSU's to offer this; and also because she'd like to work at DL). Fullerton was completely impacted of course, and a 3.3 was only enough to get her waitlisted and as she is not "from the area" she did not get any priority.

    We have briefly looked at Fullerton College and it seems ok...(?). Does anyone have any opinions or recommendations for JC's in the area - I believe there are 3 that qualify as "service area" jc's? A bonus for Fullerton College is that there is student housing nearby (University Village) and if there is something like this elsewhere in Orange County we'd love to hear about it. (She will have her car with her)

    Thanks in advance for any help!
