What is so bad about "Community Colleges" or "State Colleges"...?

<p>No relatives in Florida, my son wants to be close to home, he is going into 10th grade only. I am doing research EARLY, I want to be thouroughly prepared for all of this, since me & husbdand were not College People. I am basically terrified of how much debt I will be in when this time goes, and I do not think I am willing to C0-sign any big loans, and from what people in my area say, that is exactly what I will have to do-or he WILL be at a Community College or State is only option with the prices of College today. They did NOT get decent Financial aid packages, they had similar income, but maybe a kid less at home.</p>
