<p>While community colleges are a good option for many students, in this era of budget cuts, they seem to have worse problems than the four year universities in terms of class availability, at least in California.</p>
<p>Also, a student who is advanced may want to take junior or senior level courses as a freshman or sophomore. This is not available at a community college. (Such an advanced student may not be a good fit for an undergraduate-only college either, since s/he may want to take graduate level courses as an undergraduate.)</p>
