<p>A CC is a very good option, although keep in mind that a lot of colleges provide merit or need based aid. It could be worth it to apply to some colleges that offer generous aid. Some of my friends attend or might attend great four year colleges that offered them a full ride, some merit, some need based. If you target colleges that offer great aid, you could end up paying even less than you would for a CC. I’d say plan it so that both of those options are available, and go with the one that is ultimately cheaper. Law school can also cost a lot of money, so you definitely want your undergrad to be cheap. (scholarships are available for law school as well, but I don’t know so much about that).</p>
