I had the same problem: I lived at home and commuted to school every day. Basically college became uber high school; all the workload with the fun of living at home and being treated like a 17 year old. It didn't help that the state university where I went, although lauded for academics, was trying desperately to become a football college. ($300 a term per student towards the stadium expansion, whoo hooo)
So, I dropped out, and moved from Oregon to Cleveland. That's right, Cleveland. Life isn't the magical thing that I thought it would be here, but it is one hundred thousand times better than it was before.
Maybe you need to do the same thing, college isn't always the solution. Don't go just because everyone wants you to attend. Figure out what works for you, and not for your parents.
