has anyone chosen community colleges even after they get into 4 year?

<p>Hi, I am in a heavy dilemma right now. I’m an international student and have a similar story with bitsyblatt. I’ve been accepted to the university of my choice - BU. But, of course, the tuition is ridiculously high (well, that’s what I think) and I’ve failed to get a scholarship (there are very few scholarships offered by my government).</p>

<p>It’s not that my family can’t afford the 4 year university. With my relatives and family savings I would most likely get through. But it’s gonna be pretty tough.
And yes, I don’t want to burden my parents with the high tuition when there’s a much cheaper alternative available.</p>

<p>It was a pretty tough ride to get to the university I want though… Should I just throw away all the hard work and start over when I transfer?
I’m considering shoreline community college in WA. I’m thinking of majoring in biology, biochemistry, or nutritional science/food science.</p>
