If you don't know what you want to do with your life, then yes definitely. You will save a lot of money. If you already know what you want to do, then it is a good idea to look into the 4 year school you want to go to and find out what the requirements are for the major you want. That way, you can go to a 2 year school and know exactly what to take so that the credits will transfer when you go to the university.

Yes. I think attending a community college is a GREAT idea. Here's why: At a CC you will almost always get into the school because of their open admissions policy. Also, you can get a chance to strengthen your grades if you have a poor academic cumulative GPA. If you are attending a CC in your state's university, when you transfer with an AA or AS degree the school you enter into (assuming the university is also in your home state) has to accept the degree and you can take classes for your program of study. CC classes tend to be smaller, easier, and gives you a chance to shine. CC is cheaper than universities and colleges. Many schools offer scholarships to students who are transferring from community colleges.

If you are unsure of what you'd like to do or what school to even choose, then it's a good idea to save some money while you figure everything out. Go to a decent community college though and figure out what school you'd consider going to though because not all community college credits transfer to accredited schools and it'd be a waste of time and money to be taking those classes, unless you just like to learn.
However, if you have a good idea of what you want and which school you'd like to go to...then I'd suggest going for it. The first year of college in a dorm and all that jazz is an experience you can never replicate...but like all things, it really depends on you how great or how horrible the experience actually becomes.
Good luck either way!

I would definitely suggest taking classes at a community college. You will be saving thousands of dollars. From personal experience, the teachers at the community college i attented were so much better than the actual university professors. Of course, it really depends how good the college/district is. I saved around $10,000 (textbooks were also cheaper)

Sometimes it's the best idea. Typically, the classes are cheaper, and are offered at more convenient times for working people, and the quality of the instruction is often quite good.
It also gives you a couple of years to get the gut classes out of your way while you're trying to decide on a major.

absolutely. you can get the basic stuff out of the way (math and english) and develop career interests before declaring your major at the four year school.
