I opted to go to community college first but I did have some friends who opted to go straight to a four year university. Some things they mentioned struggling with/I saw them struggling with were:
- Finances: this is a pretty big one. College is EXPENSIVE and unfortunately, many have to take out loans and go into debt to pay for it. Going straight to a four year is more costly. It is also easier to balance community college with a part time job so that you can save up before you head to college.
- Adjusting to college: some of my friends has a really hard time adjusting to the academic rigor of their new classes. That isn't to say that community college classes are easy but they can be a stepping stone to help you develop the skills you need to succeed in the more difficult classes you'd encounter at a four year
