Confused on what to do
hi I was just hoping someone could lend me some advice.
I got into Uc Santa Barbara and committed there full time. I rlly like the campus and environment. I’m an art major. However, I really have a passion for animation and ucsb has nothing to offer for me in regards to animation. I knew that when I committed, tried to make peace w it, but I know truly I’m
not ok w abandoning it. I finally found a place down in Santa Barbara and between that and my tuition I really will be living financially tight. I have a lot of physical disabilities so having no financial wiggle room is dangerous for me.
I’m considering attending Santa Barbara city college instead. Tuition will only cost me max 2k a yr and then I’ll be able to afford my living costs comfortably. On top of that, I can get my AA there in animation and experiment w it to see if I’m sure I wanna go into that field.
I feel like if I did that I’d be giving up on ucsb, and im ashamed bcz it’s genuinely such a good school and opportunity. I’m making the harsh assumption I won’t be able to go into animation w just the degree from ucsb.
Anyways, is it wrong to walk away from an opportunity like ucsb? I’m afraid if I go there and commit to four years away from animation I may never find my way back to it. I suppose if I do end up wanting to go there sbcc is a rly good filter school to ucsb. Idk, I just feel so bad 😭
