Money and patience mostly.
If you've got good grades, a decent SAT score, and some good funding you're set.
First, you need to locate colleges, and universities. Those in your state will have in-state tuition, which tends to be enormously less expensive. Those in other states can cost quite a hefty sum for tuition. Hopefully, you have some way of proving that youve lived in the state for at least two years.
Once you know some college addresses, go on down to your high school office, and order transcripts sent here and there to as many of them as you can. Each transcript may cost a dollar or so, but it may take a few tries to get in, and so, it's best to fork out a little cash here, because otherwise, you get jack, and usually the transcripts are the cheap part anyway.
While you're there, you can ask about the SAT, and sending the scores from that around. Also, you can ask about scholarships, and the FAFSA (free application for student aid!) it'll be a whole heap of paperwork to fill out, but you sure don't want to pay for all that college out of your own pocket!
After that, you can call the various colleges, and see about getting a tour, find out what sort of majors and classes they have, and decide what you want to major in.
College is really quite a waste of time if you don't know what you want to major in.
Community colleges are a lot cheaper, but they also tend to be a bit of a nightmare to get out of. Good luck finding the office, getting a straight answer, or ever graduating from one of those. I guess there is the benefit that the classes are cheaper, but with the cost of books these days....

each college is different - so go to the admissions part of their website (each one) and see what it takes to apply early.
they will have a phone number if it seems too confusing-some colleges don't set up their sites well, but all of the materials should be there.
