Affordability of Aviation Colleges

I really dislike the idea of going to community college. I know it’s really affordable and even this year dual enrolling in one, I don’t know if community college is right for me. And it is, given my situation, not in my position to be picky about my preferences, everything about the idea of going to a community college is just not it. I have run net price calculators and been as accurate as possible and even stretching my household(s) income and it’s always been on the low side. This gave me reason not to trust them because they just seem innacurate compared to what actual people have told me. The gap year idea is a good one and one I’ll be taking into consideration next year
