It is called going to a community college for 2 years and then transferring to a 4 year state school.
I used to advise this, but it's a myth. Much more money, resources, and time are wasted by doing the 2 to 4 year transfer, rather than going directly to a 4 year school.
it can work, but it's really a narrow path of prior agreement of coordination between the two schools, and it does not work well for every major. At least picking up community college summer courses for general education requirements can shave off a semester for many. After that, it takes careful planning if it can be done at all.
Most large systems have the agreements in place as long as you stay within the system. But yeah, if you change your mind or don't follow the path you might have more trouble. This is a great example if you happen to be in Wisconsin: https://www.transferology.com/state/wisconsin.htm
