Most of my undergrad friends are really torn between academia and industry. And since I'm in my sophomore year, I feel it's too early to make the right call. Anyways, I do need to decide sooner or later.

I don't know what it's like there, but I would get involved in research with a professor if possible. Doing so had a really positive impact on my undergrad experience, and will inform if you want to stay in academia or not.
College is a good place to try things out before diving into them. But I have found no passionate profs in my college and getting a research internship under a good prof is a task in itself.
