Jason’s Answer

I would highly recommend you to go to a community college first. I give that same perspective to everyone. A community college is cheaper and many times the same professors that teach at the universities are also at the community colleges or taught the professors at the community college. The textbooks are the same and the 1 on 1 time is massively different

Keep in mind that one of the key metrics that colleges and universities are graded on is graduation rates and % of students graduating. Then the other metric is amount of students attending classes. College recruiters and career counselors and others have incentives in place to get you out of the university or college before 4 years. Yes there are kick backs for it.

I would also recommend going and working even at a low level in a company that you might work for to see how it is and how they interact. That way you have real life experience when you leave. Also it gives you a place to apply what you are learning. Yes it might take you longer to get through school. It is not a race to see who finishes first but how good you know the information in end. That is what employers want.
