<p>One student I know changed his major at least once. This set him back a bit, but since that extra time was spent living at home and attending a CC, the cost was much less than spending that extra time finding out what he wanted at 4 year college. By the time he did transfer, he was extremely focused and did very well.</p>
<p>However, I have also known of some students who I agree with their desire to leave home, a narrow community, or a situation that did not support their interests. They were better off at a 4 year college even at the higher cost.</p>
<p>Some 4 year colleges have satellite programs and online programs, which gives students more opportunities to finish the degree. </p>
<p>It is really an individual choice.</p>
