That some community colleges focused on being 'transfer schools' was old hat when I was in school 20 years ago; there were established curriculums designed to meet the general ed requirements of UC and CSU. Since then, many states have developed programs where you can get guaranteed transfer admission to their state schools for year three and four.
It's a better way to do it anyway. Lower level courses at big schools tend to be giant lectures, but many of those are going to be higher level courses at community college. Would you rather take Calculus in a giant lecture hall or a small class room? Same with Physics and Chemistry (although those at least have lab sections that are usually size limited)
