I'm pretty sure I want to Code as a career (as long as my Rock Band doesn't take) and I'm also sure I'm going to go to a 4 year state university unless I get good argument against it..

Iowa State is a pretty good school with an established Computer Science program. I spent my freshman year there before I realized that it was a little too big. Are you from around that area?
