A note about community colleges-- not all colleges accept community college credits.
If that is your plan, make sure the college you eventually want to attend will accept those classes that you took at the community college.
Also, I wouldn't worry about being on level with other students in your first few years. You're there to learn just like everybody else and you'll start out in the same zero prior knowledge classes as everyone else. By the end of those freshman and sophomore classes, you'll be on equal playing fields.

This is why I said go to the one in the same city as the university you want to go to. They'll always have a transfer program.

That's not even always true.
If you go to a state school, then more than likely anything close will transfer. If you go to a private school, then they're going to be picky about what they accept. I know TCU, Rice, and SMU absolutely do not take everything in the Dallas and Housten areas.

Ah, well I haven't had an issue with schools in AZ or that I know of in CA/NM etc.
But, I'd expect that to be part of the question process for the university you want to go to. Guess its better to make sure he knows to ask up front if that university has any agreements with any local community colleges.
