Hi, I'm actually at my third college right now, there is a long story behind that but one piece of advice I have to offer is choose your friends wisely. Also as far as majors go I'd suggest if you are not certain of what you want to do(most everyone is not) go somewhere flexible where credits are easily transferable. I would actually suggest a community college, but I know that you probably want to get away from your town.
Just a little about me tho, I started at Illinois State University didnt know what I wanted to do, was majoring in psychology, transferred to my community college for a year and a half where I first thought I wanted to be a fire fighter before finally settling on film, which I have always loved doing. Now I attend University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, Good luck to you tho.
