College will definitely be an amazing time in your life, Masta, regardless of where you choose to go. A good experience in college is never so much about the location (I certainly knew people at Harvard who would probably have been better off not being there) as it is about what what you choose to do with your time. Definitely take the time to explore new interests, and don't worry too much about what happens after you graduate. Make connections (both in terms of new friends and getting to know profs), because that's what you will really take with you once you leave college.
