Dear Need Answer Now:
First of all, take a deep breath, calm down and think through the situation rationally!
Let us deal with some terminology before can begin addressing specific issues raised by you. A community college in the US has a very specific meaning. A community college typically offers programs that are either vocational in nature or are to be used as a stepping stone for a Bachelor's degree. Effectively, a community college offers a pre-Bachelor's degree education. A university on the other hand - whether in the US or in Germany - offers Bachelor's degree education or higher. So you are trying to compare two inconsistent choices: a community college in the US and a university in Germany.
While it is true that some of the finest educational institutions exist in the US, not all US universities are of same caliber. In other words, it depends on the reputation of a specific school as to how it compares to another school in the same or different country. We are confident that some schools in Germany are better than some schools in the US, and vice-versa.
Education is a means to and end, and not an end unto itself. Whether you should go to a university in Germany or a community college in the US depends on your ambitions, goals, and interests. Other factors obviously include whether you can get admission into these "better colleges" and whether you can finance your studies. Life is an on-going balance between what you can get versus what you want.
