All of what MTP said was good advice.
In addition, don't get caught up on the high-cap kick. You're carrying for self-defense, not carrying out vigilante style war against gang members (or so I hope). I've owned two P-14s, the standard and the limited edition, and while they were nice enough pistols, their build and action was nowhere near as nice as my Kimber.
As mentioned above, the key should always be what feels best in your hand when shooting.
Plus, you mentioned you were a college student. Were I you, I'd make myself very familiar with their bylaws about firearms on campus.
