Is it bad I still keep going back to my community college?
I am a 20 year old guy and was taking classes at a community college for two years. I have now transferred to a university. But every Friday instead of going to my university to study I instead go and study at the community college. I prefer to study there instead. I just like the atmosphere better, I like to still say hi or chat with some of the math tutors, I like to have eat lunch at the Thai place or other restaurants around it and go to the Barnes and Noble right next to the place or go for a walk around. I realize I am somewhat attached to the place. Is this bad? If it is, how do I stop feeling this way?

There's nothing wrong with that- you should hang out and study in an atmosphere you enjoy and feel most comfortable in. For you, it means going to your community college. And you mention you go once a week on Friday's, which can actually be a nice routine for you to go back to what is familiar, say hi to friends, and hang around Barnes and Noble, restaurants you enjoy, etc. If you also enjoy your university, you can try to also take advantage of what it has to offer, in terms of clubs/activities, libraries, events, etc. But hanging out at your community college too is just fine. My cousin transferred to a university as well, and occasionally visits his old community college too. It's good to feel at home somewhere, even if you aren't enrolled there, it's a familiar place you can head to study or relax when you feel like it.

Why would it be bad?
You have reasons why you study there rather than your university. You like the atmosphere and like the things around it more than you do at the school you're currently going to.
It's not like it's taking over your life or making your life more complicated right? It's just a place that you feel more comfortable. There's nothing wrong with it.

It isn't bad. If you are doing uni, you have enough problems without inventing more for yourself.

There's nothing wrong with this at all. Heck, you spent two years at the place, so it's not unlikely that you would have formed an attachment there.
I spent some time at a university in my city before transferring to a college. I find that I prefer the smaller campus and friendlier atmosphere to the anonymity of a large campus. It's nice to find somewhere where you feel like you belong, and it makes studying easier on you.
As you make friends at your new school, you may find that your preferences change. Until then, there's nothing wrong with heading to your old stomping grounds.
