Lightbulb Riverside, CA or near by Garden Grove, CA - Colleges and University SERIOUS helps!

I have a cousin who just recently moved to Riverside. His relative is in Garden Grove. He's from Vietnam. He can speak and understand english fairly and decent. However, he doesn't have anyone to guide him about the university system.

He has two years of College exerpience in VN, with transcript and all. But I don't think it'd be credible to US Univesity system. He'd need to start fresh.

I don't know anything about CA Universities and colleges, degree programs, costs, etc., so I can't guide him. Can someone please give me advice on what are some good school near by, and how he should continue his education?

He was thinking of going to College, then transfer to Universy system after he finishes his 2 years. But it'd be best for him to start right away at a good university at the beginning.

Please give me your suggestions so I can know what to do to guide him.

Thanks a lot.

1. what does he want to do?
2. i'm guessing he's not citizen right? so he's going to be paying ALOT of money going to college as international student.


i think a good idea for him to save some cash is to go to community college first and then transfer to university. he's still going to be paying a lot for community college, but at least not as crazy as university.

1. Business Admin or Computer Engineering
2. He's not a citizen yet, but he's a legal resident (meaning having all paperworks: SS, green card, etc.) Aproximately how much he'll be paying?

Thanks

Ahh...i didnt realize he had his green card. Since he has green card, he will be considered local resident and not international student. is he going to commute to school or does he plan on living on campus
