The best way to get to college (according to me) it's to enroll into your local community college and complete your general education there. It's cheaper and the classes are not that hard at that point. After you finish your General Education think about transferring to a 4-year college (university). It's up to you if you want to transfer to a public or private university.
Public univs. are cheaper if you are a resident of the State in which the university is, since they are maintained with the taxes that residents pay.
Private universities will always be more expensive to everyone because they are not supported by the State.
Anyways, almost every state in this country has good universities (as far as I know) so it's up to you if you want to stay in the same state where you are residing now or move out.
Try looking at the Princeton Review's website to check out the school descriptions they have.

My advice is always the same: Go to the best college you can get into. While you can get a good education at most universities, you are almost certain to get one at a great university -- and (more importantly) you will get a better job when you get out.
You don't say anything about your abilities or preferences -- so saying something like "Got to Harvard or Duke or Stanford" is meaningless.
Instead, go to the Princeton Review website (see link below). They have a series of questions that you can answer. When you are done, it will list a number of schools that are right for you.

Not all colleges are created equally
1. Decide what you want to major in
2. Find a college that has that major
3. Make sure that you have the requirements (grades, SAT/ACT scores, letters, extracurricular activities, etc)
I also strongly suggest that students talk to people in their desired line of work to see what schools will prepare them well.
