I thought college was going to be so expensive but being in the Promise Program made it much more affordable. With tuition paid for, these last few years were a really good time for me to work, go to school, and figure out my major. I didn't feel like I was stressed at all.

Looking back, attending Saddleback was the best opportunity for me. Not only financially, but because of my campus involvement I was able to get into my dream school! I met so many cool people and experienced so many interesting opportunities that might not have been available elsewhere. At Saddleback, I found an amazing community and if you're willing to reach out and connect with others, you can too.

Affordability was a big ‘why’ for choosing Saddleback but also the smaller class sizes. I was able to connect with fellow students and build a personal connection with my child development professors. Having one-on-one time with them allowed me to learn more about their child development backgrounds and their guidance helped me choose SDSU as my transfer school.
