The first two years of college, or university are usually utilized to fulfill the core requirements of liberal arts, (or humanities). Go to a community college, do your core requirements there, It's much cheaper. Keep your grades up, and then transfer to the university of your choice. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, USC, Columbia, Georgetown, Howard, are much more expensive than San Jose State U, Cal, Fresno State, U of So. IL.South Fl, North Fl, West Fl, You get the drift. Choose the school that offers the best program you can afford in the discipline you are interested in.

Well if you are looking at a 2 year degree that a Community College and very inexpensive, about $100 per class including books. You get an AA or AS degree
It's 40 credit hours of solids (Math 1 and 2, English 1 and 2, History and Poly Science, General Science one year, Fine Arts 1/2 to 1 year) and 20 credit hours of a major study (Fine or Liberal Arts, Music, Art, History, English, Nursing, Biology, Chemistry, etc.)
A college college generally offers 4 year and sometimes post graduate degrees.
That's 80 units of solids and 40 units of major studies +
Some fields may require more to get a BA or BS, anywhere from 120 to 132 credits.
A 4 year state college is far more expensive, more like $3,000-$5,000 a year including books.
A prive college can be as much as $35,000 per year.
Universities cost more. State Universities if you are a resident are like $12,000-$20,000 a year including books.
Private Universities are $35,000-$50,000 including books, but not incluind lodging.

Of course, it depends on the school you go to. In California, public colleges and universities have what they call general education requirements, and much of your first two years is taken up by them. You do get to take some classes in your major and minor though. By the time you get to upper division work, you're working almost exclusively in your major and minor. Private schools have their own requirements, and the publicly supported schools have different requirements in different states. Schools cost more or less depending on where they are and whether they are public or private. There is no difference in cost depending on whether the school is a college or a university.
