Community college, by far! Especially if you worked your *** off in high school. Nothing is more rewarding than having your AP credits actually count for something! It is such an excellent option for people who can't afford to go to a more expensive place, or for people who can afford somewhere expensive and who don't want to go into debt! When I was in high school it was looked down upon to go to community college, but honestly it is a smarter choice financially and academically. You can end up transferring to a university after the two years and get a bachelor's from your dream university for half the price! If you are an awesome intelligent person, that will shine through no matter where you go to school.

I started at a community college, that had a degree program I was interested in. I obtained the degree, with honors, and was able to transfer to a four-year college directly as a junior, with only having to make up a minimal amount of gen ed classes, and all of those I got to take with honors. Living at home saved me money, and I held down a job, and when I went to transfer, the summer before I went up to the college town and handed out my resume to the local town businesses. That way, I had a job by the time school started. Freshman year is hell, wherever you go, but community colleges that are accredited and are degree-oriented, focus their attention on your graduating, not just on your paying for general education classes. Find a college that is recruiting for a degree you may be interested in. They may award a scholarship based on your ACT or SAT score, or offer other financial assistance as well. I attended one in Chicago, so I could commute. Then, by the time I transferred to a large school, I was 20 and had a degree as well as maturity on my side.
Good luck

I started at the major university near my home, and within a week I was in tears. I felt that I was missing out on a fundamental part of the university experience by coming home each afternoon to milk and cookies, with my mom asking me how school went. By the end of September in my first year, I had applied to transfer to a university outside my home province. I ended up moving twelve hours away for the remainder of my university years. I will ALWAYS regret staying so close to home for my first year.

Community college. Its less expensive for equal education. Get as much as you can from it. No one really looks at what school you went to until you get to the masters and PhD levels. So you may as well go with the community college, get your general education out of the way, then look up for the classes for your major.

Personally, I'm starting 4 yr community college for the sole reason that I want to stay home close to my family for a while longer.

I went to Community college after hs. For me it felt like hs. Now i'm in 4yr senior yr and it's really stressful compare to that. So i think it's up to u. Both are the same...maybe less work and tuition mite be less.
