There is a suggestion that: If you want to start at a JuCo (a terrific educational bargain, btw), plan ahead. You want to make sure that your Community College credits will transfer. Area universities probably have agreements, but if you plan to go out-of-state, you might lose a few credits.
Some time ago, junior colleges promoted themselves as the first "2" in a "2+2" campaign. But that only works if the 4-year school is in on the equation. So do your homework.
Your transfer to a four-year school would most likely be credit-for-credit. But again, look ahead and choose courses that will apply to the program you want to pursue.
I would like to say that it is best to start where you plan to finish. If you can't afford your dream school from the start, then go with the junior college. You'll get more bang for your educational buck and save a few in the meantime. Just choose classes that you know will transfer.
Usually community colleges in the same state have preference for that state's public university. So targeting a University of California school? Go to
community college in California then transfer. Make sure to meet with the transfer office to write out your plan and check in regularly for any changes.

I believe this transition will suit each individual situation, appropriate to each type of students, so we should consider when making the decision.
