Just as a data point, I did just this

2 years community college: 4 semesters, ~$1,400

2 years university: 9 quarters (took 1 summer), ~$12,500

These are early 2010's numbers in California, not a private university.

I look back and I am pleased with the education I received for the most part, especially in my major (CS)

I did the same in California and graduated with a CS last year from Cal State East Bay. I think the grand total for my degree was about $25,000.

It's totally doable to end up debt free with a part time job while living at home. Or easily payable after graduation.
