I did 2 years at community college [1], and it was great for me. At the community college level, calculus 3 and calculus based physics classes were small and there was a lot of instructor time.  At a larger university, calculus and early physics are often large lecture classes, which can be more challenging to learn in.<p>Some community colleges are better than others, so if your plan is to go to community college for two years and then transfer, it&#x27;s a good idea to go to one that has a high transfer rate, even better if it has curriculum alignment with the school you transfer to. I ended up doing 3 years after transfer because I also changed majors, and didn&#x27;t get into the school I wanted to transfer to, but I had completed almost all of my general education credits, so I could concentrate on the major classes.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.orangecoastcollege.edu" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.orangecoastcollege.edu</a> (if it matters)
