Never forget: education and intelligence are note the same things.
Take a group of people, wherever it is, you'll find 80% of followers, 15% of innovators and 5% of geniuses impossible to follow :)
The college is no exception, because of cost, accidents of life, etc. Even a genius can miss his way in studies...
Use this time to learn all you can, meet the important people and be the better in what you want to do. It will never be wasted time.
Whichever college you'll go, you'll need to commit yourself and learn a lot by yourself. The earlier you take the habit, the better you'll be. Don't wait knowledge comes to you, grab it by all means.
In some countries, college degrees are mandatory to obtain jobs, and you'll need one.
But college is not only for learning (remember: learn by yourself whatever you want, all is accessible) college is also to meet people, to create a network in your field of interest.
So use this time to achieve this, meet the futures CTOs, coworkers or maybe your future cofounders !
This is far more important than you think, and in fact, I would have liked I had this advice more younger...
