Lost high school senior (Score 1)

I'm a lost high school senior... I got a 30 ACT score (first time, I'm taking it again soon) and like a 3.8 or a 3.9 GPA. I'm interested in computers... I've won a few local/state computer awards... yadda yadda yadda.

I live in Alabama. (no jokes, please :P) It seems you guys like CMU, Harvey.. but which would be realistic and satisfying for me? I want a good education, but I want to party at least a little too! And I really want to get out of Alabama and live in a big city... another plus would be not having to take a core curriculum, I mean.. not having to retake English/Government/etc. crap.

*Any* help would be appreciated.. I'm really not sure what to do or where to go and plus I don't have a school counselor or anyone that can really guide me.
