Elyde Arroyo, 19, Mesa City College, San Diego Community College and Miramar College

Unable to get all of the classes she needs on just one campus, Elyde Arroyo attended three San Diego community colleges in fall 2004 and attended two in spring 2005. Elyde hopes to major in Political Science and Women’s Studies once she transfers to a four-year university, but the trouble is getting there. With two part-time jobs and a 19-unit course load, Elyde also has to travel all over town just to get the courses she needs. “It would make it so much more convenient to attend one campus instead of racing all over town between three,” she says. “But the hardest classes to get into are the ones I need to fulfill my general education requirements.”
