There is no appreciative difference in quality of junior colleges - other than location, just pick one that will allow you to get into the 4-year school as quickly as possible. For the most part they offer very similar programs. of all those, I would pick Erueka.

Sierra College in Rocklin would be a good choice, it also offers dorms.

Not Coalinga, it is a shockingly nowhere town. Sierra College or College of the Redwoods is good. Butte College in Chico is good, you can attend Chico State, Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo feeds Cal Poly

I have lived in Coalinga and know West Hills pretty well. It's a decent enough community college, but the thing you are looking for is perhaps a good creative writing program after your initial AA?... I went to Fresno State to study English Lit... I took a few MFA courses afterward... It's a great program for young artists/writers... West Hills has a "walk-on" policy with Fresno State... That is, you can go to West Hills for two years and transfer over to Fresno State with no problem (that is, as long as you took transferable classes, I don't think too many gym classes will work). My point is, West Hills is an excellent stepping stone for a writer who wants to move on to Fresno State... Fresno State gets two big thumbs up from me... Excellent English department and Terrific Creative Writing Department...

Columbia college also has dorms. You should realize that until you live in CA for one year you will be charged the out of state tuition rate which is substantially higher. Check the websites of all the colleges for the rates.

I don't think the "sweet little towns" you are looking for exist anymore except on television. College of the Redwoods is currently struggling to hang on to its accreditation. The previous poster is right-on re: out of state tuition. And, sorry to be a grouch, but if you're going to be a "writter" you'd better start working now on your spelling. It's really a shame that your guidance counselors at school aren't helping you more with this, but out here kids like you don't get any help either because their time is all taken up with the truants, at-risk kids etc. Good luck with whatever you choose and if you can possibly manage a road trip to visit these places you'll be a lot more comfortable with your choice.

Default Cabrillo College in the Santa Cruz area

Cabrillo College in Aptos (or is it Soquel?) in Santa Cruz county is a good community college I hear. UCSC is in Santa Cruz but alot of kids who can't or don't want to go there, go to Cabrillo because they love the area. Both Aptos and Soquel have a nice smaller town feel. It's an expensive place to live if you're looking for a place on your own but roomate situations abound. Ocean and redwoods right there for you to explore too.
