Lou, you might change your mind when the time comes. It might seem very appealing to you at that time after high school graduation! Your parents believe in you--they feel you are bright, or they wouldn't be wanting further schooling for you. Have you prayed about it, Lou? God has a plan for you, irregardless of your parents' plans for you, lol. Let your parents help you in choosing a college, but it's ultimately God's choice whether you go to college and which one! He wants the best for you!
Love in Christ,
