When I was a senior in high school, I attended a college fair and saw 91��'s high transfer rating. I also went to a college info night at 91�� San Ramon campus and the professors were really kind and inspiring. I heard a multitude of wonderful testimonials from students who transferred to four-year colleges and their success stories, which helped to cement my desire to go to 91��. I feel really grateful that I went to 91��- I learned a lot of study habits, on the job skills and built good relationships with talented professors.
