I personally attended Santa Ana College and Santiago Canyon College – both of which are community colleges. This allowed me to work full-time and go to school at night.
I eventually transferred to Cal State Fullerton where I majored in business administration with an emphasis in entrepreneurship.
I loved having so many colleges near my home here in Orange County, and to this day, still continue to live in a “college town” near Old Towne Orange.
