Choosing Community College Instead

Here’s a topic for discussion. Who has had a list of acceptances to universities but chose to do Community College?

Our daughter was set on a nice in-state university about 60 min from our home. That was until we got the financial aid package and got a total of zero money back. That actually would’ve been affordable if we still lived in our last house…but a year ago, for unforseen circumstances, we had to move “post-inflation.” Ugh! And it’s the same size house too! That made going away to college unaffordable. So, our daughter, being mature, and wanting to avoid a pile of debt volunteered to live at home and go to community college for her first 2 years.

Anyone in a similar situation?
