Are these colleges any good?

Also, just a question for you all: I called CCD because all of their credits are guranteed to transfer to CU and I know Colorado has specific rules for in-state tuition qualification but I asked and I want to know if this is true or not because I see nothing about this anywhere in the highered.colorado.gov

I asked if I went to CCD for a year and transfer to CU-Denver if I'd be considered a CO resident for in-state tuition and he said yes. This was incredibly exciting to hear, but is it true? Because apparently I can only be considered if my parents are domiciled.

Fai0607,

Unfortunately, you were misinformed about Colorado residency. If you are under 24 years old and unmarried, it's your parents' address that determines your residency. Your parents would have to set up "permanent" residence in Colorado (buying property here, taking a job in Colorado, registering to vote, registering vehicles, etc.) for a year before you could be considered a resident.
