Santa Monica college was still super cheap when I was taking classes there 5-10 years ago. Not sure what it’s up to now.

Certainly can be. I did mine to knock out gen eds when I went back for a career change. This was over 10 years ago, but still classes were something like 60-70 per credit hour. Meaning classes usually worked out to 4-500 when adding in book costs. Certainly cheaper than a 4 year, but not cheap either.
EDIT: I just checked, current prices are $411 for a 3 credit hour class for someone in district, $972 for a state resident, and $1,182 for out of state at the local community college where I grew up. Add in another $200 for textbooks, and we are talking $600 for a single 3 credit class in district minimum. Take 4 classes and it is 2400 per semester.

The local JC’s (California) were in the $800 a semester range 7-8 years ago, not counting books. Now books can be expensive but my daughter found sights on line that “rented” books, so it was much cheaper.
I totally agree that if your major is something specialized then you may have to do the 4 year school thing, but how many students really know what they are going to do or even stay with that. And if you are liberal arting it then start where you can afford it.
We have done this with all of our kids except the one who went in Canada. Since his university there cost less than as U.S. community college, he got a pass.

Location then makes a big difference. I spent on average $3-4k per semester at a California State University, that was 7-10 years ago. In state.
And go somewhere local if you can. Room and board is doubling the cost.

What are your thoughts on California-style pizza?

I have no thoughts. I am the village idiot.
Plus two likes if you know what this means. :)
Okay fine…
I had buffalo chicken pizza for the first time at a CPK. Solid 'za.

It’s the only power I have. :)
I live in California and am bombarded by pizza ads and I have no idea what “California style pizza” is.
I think California style pizza basically means the more bizarre items on the CPK menu?
My CC is $200/credit hour in-state tuition, plus several hundred in fees. Tuition caps at 12 credits, so full time ends up running roughly $3000 per semester for tuition and fees.
At least one of my friends from my Masters Program got his associates degree from a Florida Community College. I don’t actually know where he got his Bachelor’s degree before I meet him at Rutgers, but after that, he completed his Ph.D. in New York and now works for IBM.
I am starting to doubt that the subject matter of your degree really matters, and going to community college doesn’t matter, as long as the credits transfer.
Holdup…
No it doesn’t.
Does it?
I am so confused because Dinosaurs are warm blooded Bird creatures, aren’t they?
Fuck, everything is a reptile.
