You should get an AA or AS anyway on your way. Since you're gonna be doing engineering, I recommend you learn to code well. It's the same amount of work, plus, it will force you to get your general education requirements out of the way.

You'll miss out on campus life though, but you'll probably be hanging out with more mature students. Math help is easier to get at CC. The libraries are easier to navigate also at a CC but may not have all the cool periodicals.
