If you are choosing between community colleges, use http://www.assist.org to check which have the best coverage of the courses each CSU wants you to have to transfer. You can still transfer with some courses missing (since many campus-specific CS courses are absent at many community colleges), but then you would have to take them after transfer, possibly delaying graduation.
