My dual enrollment high school son had good experiences at community college. It is definitely not like high school, though you do have students who don’t want to be there, and there are some profs who aren’t the nicest or most helpful. But that will be the case no matter where you go or what you do.
If you go the CC route (or even university route) be sure to work closely with Student Support Services, or whatever they call it at your school, to figure out how to obtain accommodations.
