You didn't talk about financing. Are you paying for college yourself? With loans? Or is someone else paying the bill?

If you are paying for college with loans; I would drop out. There is no need to go into massive debt without a specific purpose. I think college can be beneficial with a specific course of action. But--in the US--a lot of people go there to 'find themselves' whatever that means. If you want to drink alcohol and experiment with drugs and waste a bunch of years I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to do that without racking up huge college bills.

However, if you aren't taking on any of the expense of going to college, I would go. Learn as much as you can. Take different classes. Look for internships or jobs to get experience and education at the same time (and hopefully some money).
