Unless you have been admitted to a highly prestigious school (MIT, Harvard, etc.) and tuition is not going to be a problem for you (through wealth or extensive scholarships) this route is definitely one of the best ways to go for most people seeking a 4-year degree.

Also, consider that at a community college you could learn a trade, it'll take more time but if you're likely to spend 5 or 6 years pursuing a 4-year degree why not spend just as much time and far less money also adding a skill and a credential that can pay the bills?
