The only thing I caution on no major is many of the universities it can be hard to transfer within the school. I know at A&M and UT if you don't start business or engineering you better have close to a 4.0 if you want to move over to those colleges. So general studies isn't always the best choice at some schools, he should look into whether that is an issue.

Oh and the community college thing is good if he may not be the best student as far as dedication. My husband is very intelligent but in high school he just took the regular classes, did enough to get by with B's, wasn't much of a studier. He did the CC thing and dropped about half the classes. He just took a bit of time to really get into the studying, test, note taking routine. He did pretty good in college in a hard major but probably would have flunked out of A&M if he had got in as a freshman.
