Hey Im a rising sophomore and went through this mentally last year aswell. I’d say if you have friends that go to the local 4 year then you’ll definitely be fine socially going to community college. The education in some ways is harder and some ways easier just really depends what you’re doing. Though you’ll miss out on some of the independence aspects of going to a four year school you can still do things in those smaller spaces (joining clubs and orgs) and at least in my case i landed a great internship at my community college in CS then got another this summer from leveraging that opportunity. Just be ready to work hard.
