There are many factors in deciding what is best for you. I went to a community college and then transferred, but I was 15 when I started college. If you are not sure what you want to major in 2 year schools are a great choice. It gives you the freedom to explore without feeling like your wasting money and time. The second advantage comes when you transfer. When you decide on a major you have the opportunity to find out about colleges that professors went to and how good (or bad) programs are at different schools.
The disadvantages to starting at a 2 year school:
In some majors you do much better taking general education courses, and lower division major courses at the university you are going to do your upper division work at. If you know exactly what you want to do and found a school that has a great program that is unique and unlike any other, it's an opportunity you don't want to pass up. Community colleges can have a problem with the student population not taking school seriously and really not interested in the classes they are taking. It can sometimes seem like an extension on of high school.

It depends on what you want to major in and try to decide ahead of time if you go to a two year school first, what four year school you want to go to, because you will want to make sure the majority of your credits will transfer to the four year school and you will need to make sure that most of these credit with transfer into a certain cluster, other than electives. Also, you should meet with the acedemic advisor for whatever school or schools you plan to go to, so you don't take many classes that will be a waste of time and money.

Don't bother with the SAT or ACT. You don't need those to get into a community college, and when you transfer the university will only care about what you have done in college and not about anything from high school (including SAT or ACT).

There are a lot of issues that go into making the proper choice. But do consider this: when people ask about your education, they ask "what college did you graduate from?" not "where did you go to college for your first two years?".
Financing and admissions at smaller colleges can be easier than at a big school. If you choose the prep school properly (make _sure_ that _all_ of your credits will transfer), you can be way ahead to go to the smaller school first and transfer to the big name school for your diploma.

I think it depend on your maturity level and financial situation. My nephew went straight to 4 year college but he couldn't handle it. I have to admit he is very shelter. Now he is working and going to community college part-time. I think go to two year community college and see how you like. You will get a feel of what community college will be like. Can you handle all of your classes and how some college professor treat you. The final decision is up to you. I am glad you are continuing you education. You go girl.
