College affords abnormal (exponential compared to current growth rates) amounts of freedom. Also depending on what you study, you will likely only get an academic understanding of the topic in question.
This may/may not afford you a nice life, but basically what I'm getting at is even if you study something worthwhile (science), it doesn't teach you life lessons of value like what to do with you rmoney or that you should pay off visa payments, then mortgage payments, then misc loans, etc etc.
The point is, take college for what it's worth: just a 3/4 year crash course in whatever it is you are paying them to teach you. It doesn't teach you anything else.
Also the nonsense that your parents feed you about getting an education and working hard doesn't pay off. You need to learn about investments. If you don't invest a portion of your earnings, you will suffer after retirement, or (God forbid) if you have to stop working for some reason permanently.
Stuff like that you should seriously think about. If you start now, by the time you get to my age (27) it will be much more valuable. Do some basic interest rates calculations to get an idea of what I'm babbling about.
Oh and there's lots of girls. OMG. And they're almost all willing. :wink:
