“What would be a good CC for an international student to grow and learn?”

Any CC in California or Virginia, to take advantage of their guaranteed/priority admission programs.

“Is there really no campus life?”

No more than at a high school.

“Is there housing in the CC?”

No, but most of the schools’ websites have an off-campus housing search.

“Would you recommend transferring as a sophmore or junior?”

Junior. It makes colleges weight your high school record less and it’s essential for getting into UCs. Also, as far as apps go, you’re a junior when you have 60 credits, not after a certain number of semesters or quarters.

“I really have no idea what goes on at a CC…”

In California, it’s a transition between high school and college, which is why UCs accept so many transfer students, since all of my CC classes have been harder than high school (about equal to APs) and presumably easier than at a 4-year, although some teachers rotate between the 2-years and 4-years in the area teaching the same classes.
