No. It's one of those ideas that sounds OK in theory but in practice rarely works. The savings vs an in state 4 year college aren't that great, and odds are you'll just burn out or never get around to transferring.

>Just 16 percent of students who began their education at a community college in 2010 successfully wrapped up their degree at a four-year school by spring 2016, according to data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center.
>In comparison, 62.4 percent of students who started at a four-year public university completed their degree within six years
Assuming you can't get into an elite (lets say top 30 or so) university, what you should do is go to the best in state school you can get into. If you can get into your state's flagship university, great, just go there. From the moment you set foot on campus. focus as much energy as you can on being as socially connected as possible. Talk to everyone in your dorm and join any club, organization or team that seems even remotely interesting. This is probably the best shot you're going to get at building a "normal" adult social life, so don't let it slip. Additionally, you should planning out your summers in the fall so that when the year ends you already have an internship lined up. Every school has resources dedicated to finding students internships, so figure out what they are and take advantage of them.

I promise you this will be much better for you long term then trying to save a few grand at a community college. It's just too easy to isolate yourself and drift off into some other shit if you're not surrounded by friends in that structured 4 year environment. You don't want to end up as a future 25 year old /r9k/ neet burnout wondering what the fuck happened to your life.
