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.
Agree, but the universe of such paths is miniscule when compared to overall in the system. Studies have shown that billions of dollars are lost in cash, time, and productivity.

Regarding costs, along with the student/customer centric increases, look at regulations, keeping up with the new information age, marketing, etc, etc.
