Is it a bad idea to go to a Junior College first and the transfer to a University after a year or 2?

<p>Living away from home costs should be similar between CC, CSU, and UC in similar cost areas, but the three systems have different levels of in-state tuition (for an academic year, $1,380 for CC (30 units at $46 per unit), $5,472 for CSU, $13,300 for UC (slight variation by campus)).</p>
