+1 on that, I'm about to check it, but I see college as a way to make connections and get to know more people (teachers and students) interested in the same things I'm.
But yes!, you should do whatever you want to do, college is not an obligation, like you said a check box not a select button.
Most people phrase the issue as either attending college or getting some boring job and missing out on the "college experience"...
The better model is to not attend college, but to hang around the college town and attend the clubs and associations...and network with the folks that are doing more than just attending classes...these will be your co-founders :)
The real stuff goes on at night when folks are working on their side projects.
The other benefit of this model is that you don't have mountains of debt from tuition...so you're able to take more risks later on.
