In California, at least, it used to be that(still may be, but my data is a couple years old) you could get about 2 years of your prerequisites done at a community college and then use that to funnel into the Cal-State schools.

That was a significantly cheaper option for most students. And the classes tended to be smaller and, often, much better quality.

My state does something like that. You do an associates at the state community college system in a field geared towards your planned university major and as long as you get good grades, you get guaranteed admission to a state 4 year school. It helps the student by reducing cost and helps the 4 year schools by reducing the number of incoming freshmen.
