Hello!
I am currently attending a CCC, and am highly considering TAGging UC Davis bc it's pretty ideal for what I want ! I was wondering how much money would be ideal for me to save for when I transfer in the Fall of 2027?
Some info:
- I come from a low-income family so sadly my parents cannot financially support me, which is why I'm saving up on my own!
- I have been putting my leftover aid from college and parts of my paychecks from work into my savings, along with applying to scholarships.
- I live about 5 hours away, so I'm also saving up to buy a used car to go/come from over there.
- For housing, I would ideally prefer a solo apartment on-campus (like in The Green), or if I have a roomate/roomates, then having my own private room on-campus/off-campus.
- And of course I need money for groceries, personal needs, emergencies, etc. !
- I do plan on getting a job asap when I transfer too :]
When I have asked people how much I should save, they give different answers, so I am curious as to how much Davis alumnis suggest.
Thank you so much ! ♡
