Which is a better first step into college: Community colleges or regular universities?

Many college students go through the debate, Community College or straight to University? For me the decision was easy... go to a 2 year college and see what you want to do with your life. A good friend wanted to be a biologist... straight to University for him. In todays financial times there are many more factors to consider.

Here is a great read on the pro's and con's of starting at Community College and going straight to University.
