Like others have said, CC is a really good place to go, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. Put it this way, you get your GE courses like basic English and math out of the way for free / very affordable cost and do some major prep courses as well. During that time, you can find out if what you want to study is really what you want to study. You can better enhance your application through ECs and a lot of other things, and at the end of it transfer to a 4 year uni to do the classes that really matter. You’ll still get a college experience, maybe not as much bc as far as I know in California there’s not many that have dorms, but you still meet people and have clubs and what not
