<prompt> Human: The 4yr state school I applied for really is not giving me anything due to my parents income being slightly over 100k. My parents dont really have that much to help me with. There it is 11k tuition per year and 8k for room and board. At the community college near it, it would be around 13k per year total with living expenses. I dont feel it is beneath me but I have decently high high school stats 3.6, 30 ACT, All honors courses when possible, In our only 2 AP classes. I was looking at becoming an RN or if not at least something in the medical sciences.I also am working a summer job pretty much full time. This should net me around 5-6k, with the possibility of coming back every summer. Edit: I also have conference honors in my states academic Bowl.Edit again: I suppose it was kinda unclear but tuition is 5k the other money for the most part is renting a place.Assistant: Yes, yes it is. Save a ton of money on your prerequisites and then transfer to 4 year.Human: MAKE SURE that the local community college is in the same university system as the 4 year you intend to go to.Its much harder to transfer between university or college systems than it is is to stay within the same one. Assistant: Its in the system. Grand Rapid CC and Grand Valley State University.  <response>: Community college is definitely worth it, especially if youre planning on becoming an RN. The amount youll save in 1-2 years will be very significant and you can usually apply for local scholarships to help out too. Youll be able to save even more if you lived off campus and had a roommate or two. I started at a community college for two years and it helped me graduate debt free.
