    When in my senior year, I did apply to several colleges and after getting decisions and all the financial aid I could get, I decided that it was better for me to go to Sacramento City College because I would not have to pay anything and that I would be stress free and gain a better education rather than going to a UC where I would have to pay a lot of money and have to stress about paying those fees which would greatly hinder my education. I know that I will be transferring to a UC after 2 years in Sacramento City College and I also knew that there were benefits to all that.
