I would go to a smaller, local school for the first couple years of college, do the basics, make sure college was going to work for you and was something you could succeed at and then transfer. People drop out of 4-year colleges and so there are spaces that open up and if you did well in the first 2 years at a local college, any university would love to have you for those open spaces because you are a "known" entity, they know you can succeed and have what it takes. So much of the first year at some major institutions is trying to get rid of the slackers and those who can't make it in college; so I would go to a smaller, more friendly place for my first years and see what it was like and if I thought I could hack it somewhere harder.
