Excellent advice for you on this thread. Apply to colleges that are the right fit for you, and will find you to be the right fit for them. Consider all the different aspects of each school such as size (big, medium or small), location (large city, small city, college town, rural), athletic-oriented or not, big on greek life or not, etc.
I find your statement of “I’ll probably be paying the fees with my internship money from the summer, not my parents money” somewhat flippant because that is money that could be used toward college in one form or another, even if it’s spending money for travel or other incidentals. You might enjoy a night out for pizza with friends sometime. Having some money saved up from your job will make things easier on your parents. I make too much money to even be considered for financial aid for my child, and I would never allow her to waste money like that. Waste not, want not!
