do community colleges have rankings?

Well, probably the worst thing about transferring is that by the time you get to a 4yr after you've completed a 2yr, is that social circles are already formed. At many colleges and universities, strong social ties, cliques, etc. are made durring the first year or so. Everybody is having to go through the same experience(s), and so there is some bonding there.
That being said, don't let that discourage you. Being an active participant in clubs, sports, etc. will help you acclimate to a new college or university.

It is a great choice to begin at a CC and then transfer. I did it myself and don't regret it. In fact I was ready to go to a 4 yr college myself. But don't underestimate a community college. The courses transfer (see a counselor to make sure they do though), the classes are generally small and can be challenging, you are in a small campus community, and the administration at a CC tend to be friendly. The reason I explain this all in such detail is because I am a recent CC grad.
Best of Luck.

Great idea! You save $, are close to home and have great teachers by going to Community College first. Then transfer to a University. In fact the University of Michigan (one of the best in the US) has liasons in Community Colleges for the purpose of recruiting. I did it that way and went from cutting lawns to medical school.
