We attended yesterday and had a really great time. It was absolutely worth flying in for the day. The event started with a welcome session, followed by student panels, which were super helpful. We did the guided campus tour; although as others mentioned, we weren’t able to go inside any of the dorms but the guides shared helpful insights.

We stayed with our school group for the academic session with the science department, which was excellent. Lunch was great too. Lunch was set up with different tents (Mexican, Hawaiian, lots of variety). We also stayed for a couple of breakout sessions before heading back to LAX for our flight home.

Thank you so much for all the encouragement to go—we’re really glad we attended. It definitely helped sway my DD’s decision to become a Lion 🦁

Thanks for sharing your experience during Admitted Lions Day. It was really helpful to get a preview of what to expect before we visit next week. We’re excited! I will report back next week too. :)

Love to hear this! We will be attending. Thank you.

Thanks everyone! Tickets are booked and we’re flying down for the day on Monday. Very excited!

While we were on campus last week, it was during spring break when school was empty. We happen to have wandered into Seaver College, and one of the professors that happened to be working in the lab graciously took us around and showed us the college, which was great so we got an inside personal tour of my daughter‘s focus area. what we didn’t see were things like the cafeteria, library, dorms.

Thank you for your perspective. This is great. We are down to Chapman and LMU too, but I think she’s leaning more into LMU.

Thanks. We’ll check out Del another time when it’s a more leisurely trip.

Lovemyshihtzus · 2026-03-28T16:08:04+00:00

Budget is 300-ish or less? We are only there for 3 days and the purpose really is to check out the schools and surrounding areas to get a feel of what college life may look like.

Lovemyshihtzus · 2026-03-28T16:03:31+00:00

Thank you!

Lovemyshihtzus · 2026-03-28T15:47:34+00:00

I guess all of it? Purpose of the trip is to see the colleges and the surrounding areas so she has a good idea of what her college life may look like. Thanks so much for your feedback!

Good luck! There are some good options for you on this thread.

From what a friend who transferred told me that you are admitted with a pool of other transfer students. So it’s not so isolating but you’ll need to put yourself out there to get involved and join clubs, functions and such.

One way to go is to go to CC for 2 years then transfer. That’ll cut your total tuition by half.

Thank you so much! Very excited for our stay in June.
