At least in our area it is common both ways. There are some “articulation agreement” programs where you get an associates at the community college followed by a bachelors at the four-year college. But for other majors, an earlier transfer is better because of limits on what CC courses would satisfy major requirements.

So the usual advice is to immediately talk to the transfer counselors at your community college, and map out a plan that makes sense for you in light of your ultimate degree goals.

ETA: by the way, though, most of this involves CC to in-state university paths. CC to “T20” privates also happen sometimes, but I think that would be a relative drop in the bucket in terms of total numbers.

ETA2: I also believe the Cornell Transfer Option is after just one year. Doesn’t sound like the OP has that option (although I am not sure), but I gather the logic is the same. They don’t want those students too far behind in terms of actual Cornell classes.
