Going to a junior college for basics. Is a great idea. For many reasons. Its a lot cheaper then a university. School is going to cost a lot of money. Grants and Loans or how ever you do it. So why spend more on basics.
Also Junior college basic classes are easier then going to a university. Great way to have a higher GPA! Then when your done with basics you have an associate and a great GPA. And apply for more grants and scholarships while at the university.
GOOD LUCK IN COLLEGE
REMEMBER TO STUDY AND FOCUS
DON'T LET THE COLLEGE LIFE GET TO YOU AND GET YOU IN TROUBLE FOCUS ON SCHOOL.

It depends on the kind of high school you are coming from. I was from a small, private school, so community college helped me adjust to dealing with a larger student body, while still keeping 30-40 students in a class. Universities have up to 300 students in a lecture hall for the underclass students. Your profs don't get to know you, to see if you have any strengths or if you are a hard worker. You are just a number. Once you get to Upper Division courses at the university, you should be taking classes towards your major, which means there are less students in the class.
Believe me, you want your profs. to always know you by name, and the work you are capable of. That way, if you have an off day, or need an emergency extension on a paper, they won't hesitate to give it to you.

it depends on you. i went to a university out of high school and i love it. Sometimes going to a community college and then transfering after two years saves a lot of money also. Especially if your not sure want you want to major in. Both are very good choices.

Go to a community / junior college and transfer. Reason - money. Why should you spend $ hundred per unit for the GE stuff when you can pay much less getting that stuff out of the way. Even if you are made of money, why waste it.

Depends on your ability to function in large class rooms. Junior college will give you same basic course levels that should transfer. Where as a University there is no transferring of classes and larger variety of class types and times.

My dad teaches at a community college, and I know that when i am through with Highschool I am going to a university. I know so much about the community college that I dont want to go to it. personaly I think that community colleges are for adults that cant add 2+2. most of the students at this community college are adults in classes that i think of as 3rd grade. they have a few upper classes, but often they dont have enough students to fill the class. but another thing i have learned is that every community college is diffrent. you can look at your community college and see what it is like.

Let me tell you about a young woman I met years ago and what happened to her: she went to college, right after high school. Got her degree and then looked for a job. She finally found a job but soon discovered that no matter what she applied for, even with a degree, she still had to begin at the bottom. She was really upset about this and did not understand. She told me her advisor told her "after graduation you'll be able to get a job anywhere at a top salary!" I told her "I truly believe advisors are told to say that to everyone".
Myself, a person should work at least 5 years before going to college (right after high school) because they will be more appreciative of the education and more mature to handle the responsibilities and then a career. They will also be able to apply their education to both sides of the coin instead of only seeing one side (like a horse with blinders).

Depends what you want to do.
Some people like certain subjects, and want to study them - art, history, etc. Unless you plan a career as a professor, archeaologist, or teacher, that's a lot of money to "expand your mind".
Otherwise, what do you want to do with your life? Plan for the necessary courses to educate yourself so you can get ecrtification in what yo want to do. Whether this involves college, university, or study-while-working - it's up to you.
The other important thing is money - if your parents can (and want to) indulge you, do what yo feel like. If you are going to bleed your parents, or rack up debts you'll be paying for 20 years, you should choose wisely.
If you really like a field of study, enjoy that kind of work, and think you want to do it for the rest of your life, then go for it. The better paying jobs generally require some sort of educational certification. There's nothing worse than being stuck in something you hate doing.
