Transferring from a CC to UC = missed "college experience"?

I’m considering going to CC then transferring to a UC.
So far, I’ve been rejected from all of my colleges (including most UC’s). I’m going to appeal, but appeals have a very low acceptance rate.

At our CC, there is probably zero social life, unless you have friends from HS who are also attending. People just go to class, and leave ASAP.

Does anyone have some insight about missing the “college experience” if you attend a CC/transfer? I was really looking forward to life in the dorms, meeting new people, huge student population, etc.

Will transferring as a Junior still be the same college experience? I’d live in the dorms, but I don’t know if it’ll be the same. I feel like everyone else will know each other and already have their own groups of friends. It’s just my opinion, but I think making friends would be easiest as a freshman because of orientations, everyone is new, move in day, etc.
