Going to college, living away from home, etc. are worthwhile experiences. Even though it can cost a lot of money (protip: do well in high school and college suddenly becomes cheaper), the reason why people change majors is because they change as a person. When you experience something different (i.e. not going to community college living at home and essentially continuing the high school routine) you can better reassess your priorities and not have to make changes after the fact when you get your degree.

I'm not saying that community college isn't a good option for some people, but getting out of your comfort zone is important, and I would suggest going to a 'traditional' college if you have the wherewithal to do so.
