I'm planning to finally go on to college soon and dreading the experience itself with ferocity.
I have one word of advice: try to make friends with at least one professor. Even if they might not necessarily enjoy you as a person, it's part of their job to advise you on your choices. After doing this, my college career became much easier.

My education is largely self educated. I often wonder just how many of us that apply that moniker are indeed actually better educated than many a college graduate? Of course, we need that paper on the wall to back it up.
Don't be surprised if the knowledge you gained in your self-education is thoroughly different from everyone else. You're going to be expected to know certain topics that may otherwise seem unimportant, just because that's the way it's taught.
And one last thing: do whatever you can to prepare for your coursework before the first class begins. There's nothing better to guarantee a good grade than to know the answers before your competition.
