Don't immediately discount the CC route. There's no better way to get the gen-ed, basic math, and science courses out of the way than a CC. They're easier, smaller, and cheaper. So long as he takes courses that will transfer to his D-1 school of choice, he still gets a BS with a recognizable name on it. Plus, many CCs do have dorms, if that's where he wants to live. I can't imagine why, my early college years were spent in rental houses and apartments, I ended up with plenty of great experiences. Plus, there wasn't anyone to lecture me for drinking or women  , and I didn't have to share a community bathroom and shower.
