(In the US) Remember to take your early, more "generic" courses at community colleges rather than private if you can. They're cheaper and a lot of the time better at teaching those courses.
Just make sure that whatever college you want to transfer to later actually accepts those credits.

Also, I would like to add, as an incoming transfer from community college to a 4 year university, the community colleges have some of the best programs ever, like financial assistant for incoming transfers, job fairs, cool clubs, STEM degree programs, engineering programs. Make sure to be a part of all the programs you can, you may be able to get free textbooks and tuition based on going to high school in that area or financial information. So you don't even have to use FAFSA. Also, the classes are a fraction of the price too. The 2 years I've spent at a community college, I gained money because they even offered money for every unit we took. So not only did I not have to pay for my education, they gave me money for going to school.
Choosing to go to community college my first 2 years instead of a low ranking local 4 year was a good decision for me, financially and it developed me a lot too because I was able to meet many like minded people in those STEM programs (shoutout MESA) and even hung out with comp sci professors and math professors who are very chill and helped me out a lot.
