Many 2-year community colleges, like our local one, are highly regarded and are every bit as tough as the big schools. Of course you have to do some additional footwork to make sure all your credits get transferred, and they have programs specifically geared to that goal. The reward is annual tuition that's 1/4 - 1/10 that of a full 4-year college, and thats money on your pocket. One of my kids is currently taking that route since he hosed up his first year being away at a real school, and making bad decisions.
