<prompt> Human: CC tuition: 4,065 yearlyState school: 13,499 yearlyPrivate college: 42,333 yearlyIm currently a high school senior deciding where to go for college. Currently, I am debating whether I should go to a CC before transferring to a state school Private colleges are completely out of the question. What does rPF think about going to a CC before going somewhere else. Have any of you gone to a CC?  <response>: VERY smart to go to CC first, just make sure your credits transfer. Also, the school you graduate from will only take into account your GPA at their school, so it kind of resets your GPA. My schools transfers had significantly higher GPAs as a result.Also, look into renting textbooks. There are lots of sites where you can rent textbooks that cost upwards of 100 for less than 30.
