Smart move. You need certain core classes to attain a degree. Spend 2 years in a community college to fulfill your core requirements at a cost that is affordable. Transfer to a college or university that is known for your particular interest for the next 2 years.

This is an individual thing. It depends on your needs and wants not what other's think. Community colleges are just as good as universities and they are cheaper. But at least where I live they don't have dorms so you have to live off campus. Community colleges do have clubs and societies but its not the same as at 4 year schools. In some states if you get a 2 year associates degree you are automatically excepted to any public four year college. Community colleges also have smaller class size with more individualized attention. Some freshman classes at certain 4 yr colleges can have tons of students in one class. It's kinda like a training wheels to get used to the responsibilities of college but have more assistance from the school. If you are nervous about leaving home this is definitely the way to go. I would suggest you decided what you want out of college and then go talk to some schools and find out what they offer. Make a list of questions you want to know so you don't just sit there and say uh uh.

Go with the community college, even if you can afford the 4 year college. Stay home, save your folks the money. Spend time with your parents ( They will miss you when you are gone, and you will miss them). Mow the lawn, vacumn the floors, help out. Learn more about real world responsibility,the kind of things that you will have do do shortly in managing a household. Study at home with fewer distractions. Learn the cost and the value of an education. The only thing that you will miss is a lot of drunks.

1st 2 years is basically the same everywhere, so, yes it will save money. No, it won't be as much fun as a university, especially if you're dorming there. If you do go the community college route, make sure you come out in 2 years with some sort of basic associates degree, not just a bunch of transferable classes. Transfering a degree can exempt you from other university class requirements and again save money and time! Do you have a plan/goal for your future, ie. you know you want to be an accountant or something else? If so, get going with it. If not, get a job somewhere that will also pay for your college. You get the education free plus have a lot of work experience when you graduate which will make you much more valuable.

SigmaNu@MSU, Obviously, "you are not too smart." Don't say things such as "there is only two reason," and expect to be taken seriously. Avoid loans at all costs, no pun intended. I started out at CC and finished at UCLA. Now I'm in grad school. CC is definitely a good idea.

Go for all four years. A degree is a degree, and a degree is business from City College is the same as one from State U. State U. just charges a lot more to teach the same things.
