Re: earlier discussion about community colleges always feel a need to note that my experience was that starting at a CC would've been more expensive and that out of everyone I know who tried to do the 2year to 4year transfer thing, only one person actually finished their Bachelor's degree
A CC can be a great option for a lot of people but you have to do your research ahead of time and I'd always recommend people to apply for 4year programs to see what financial aid they get before deciding
The CC option is often pushed especially hard on low-income students, who are often eligible for good financial aid at 4year schools which they often won't be eligible for as a transfer student -- and CCs can sometimes be less-than-helpful about ensuring your credits will actually transfer properly to your desired 4year program
That's not even to mention the costs of things like transportation and to a lesser extent housing (if your situation prevents you from staying with family for free etc.)

Jumping in as someone who also went to a CC, the only reason why I was successful was because my CC had a transfer program with my local 4-year so all of my credits transferred. Typically you’ve gotta be really on-top of which classes will transfer to each university you’re interested in

Advisors at any school can be hit or miss but that’s especially true when they’re advising you on which classes transfer, I 100% recommend doing your own research instead of listening to advisors
