You experience will more than likely be what you make of it.
If you walk in to college unhappy and defeated you will probably not apply yourself, get a mediocre education, and be limited with job and grad school possibilities.
If you walk in to college excited, eager to make the most of your opportunity, willing to seek out challenging courses and develop relationships with professors, if you want to make new friends and become involved on campus then more than likely you will do well coming out of any decent school.
Never forget that many people would do almost anything to attend a 4 year college in the US. If you get that chance, even at a less than ideal college, make the most of it.
