I would recommend after you graduate, to take classes at the community college but put it on your transcript as part of your senior year (dual credit). That way you can still apply as a freshman with some credits. This will give you the opportunity to adjust to classes with other students, possibly being in a cafeteria, joining a club. Also, applying as a freshman (rather than a transfer) keeps more options open and often has better financial aid.

I have two sons–one who homeschooled all the way through, did some dual credit classes, and then went to a four year school as a freshman. Then he took some time off and started looking at schools as a transfer student. It was definitely an easier process as a freshman. My other son homeschooled up until junior year of high school and then attended a private school. I have written a homeschool transcript for both of them, so I understand that process pretty well.
