Best Answer

Both colleges are easy to transfer from as long as you have the necessary GPA and you finish all your general education requirements (which is about 60+ semester credits) Both are good and its the professors that can make the subject hard, not the school. Just go to the one that is closest to you...

Best Answer

I'm taking an online class from Chabot right now. It's ridiculously easy. It seems like as far as transferring goes, the college is really geared toward CSU East Bay. If you can commute a little, there are moderately better JC's in the area, like Ohlone and De Anza.
