Need advice!!!

<p>I am an American citizen currently living with my mother in Pakistan since my parents are getting divorced. Here I am studying A-levels, and I wish to move back to the US for university education.
Now I want to know whether attending a community college is a good idea or not? Since I was planning on going to England before, I haven't done my SATs yet, or finished my CommonApp..
I feel like moving to the US and going to a community college then transfering to a private college seems like a good enough idea. Is it a good idea though? So I could do my SATs while attending the community college too.</p>
