It depends on what you want and where you go. If you want teachers who worry about you on a personal level, and occasionally get nosy, while making you read/do a lot of stuff with no immediate utility for the sake of developing your ability to see patterns and think on your feet, pick a small four-year liberal arts college. If you want teachers who leave you the hell alone and let you get on with jumping through hoops so you can get the degree you need for the job you want, pick a big state university. If you want interesting intellectual company that is not soused two thirds of the time, stay away from the Greek societies. And the swimmers and football teams.
It can be fun to be out on your own. It can also be damn scary. It's also usually really, really annoying, because your parents may still be a) paying the bills and therefore b) hovering over your shoulder.
You have to find the couple of profs you click with. They make up for the rest.
