community college or university?
I have been accepted at a university and at a community college. I don't have much money, though. I was thinking about going to the community college and transfering. Would that be risky? What are the odds of the university accepting me again after I go to a 2-year school?

Going to a community college first is actually the best thing to do. You can get all of your general stuff out of the way for the first two years, and then go to a university for the last two years. It's the smarter thing to do money-wise.

Yes this is a great idea, and there are FEW colleges that won't accept credits that are transfered from a community college. But there are exceptions, AND in some cases, they will accept some but not all of the credits you earn at a community college. The best thing is to inquire at the community college of your choice, which colleges (or name your specific college) accepts their credits with no problems.
Attending community collge for the first two years is a great way to save money. I'll bet that if you queried some of your HS teachers, you will find that many of them did that, and they were greatful that they did not have $40,000 in student loans after they finished 4 years of college.
I hope this helps. Also, unless you have your heart set on any IVY LEAGUE or prestigious private college, you might consider the State Colleges in your state. In most cases, state residents pay much less than students who live out of state.

im pretty sure that after to years if your eligible they HAVE to accept you.. im almost positive. try talking to an administrative person, or your school counselor. that way you can go to your two year college and work and save money to help pay for your 4 year.. its much cheaper that way and you can get all of your general education out of the way so when you go to a 4 year you can focus on just your major which you'll get your moneys worth. also you could check and you might be eligible for a student loan!
congratulations! (:
