Should I take advantage of where I live, or go to California for college?

Hi. I live in Massachusetts, about an hour outside Boston, the college capital of the U.S., if not the world. There’s 107 universities and liberal arts colleges in the small state of Massachusetts (Northeastern, Boston College, Harvard, Boston University, Bridgewater, and U-Mass just to name a few). My dad says it’s a shame I don’t want to take advantage of this, but I just really want to get out of Massachusetts. The weather is so cold, and the people are colder, and live such a fast pace life. I don’t want that life at all. I want to have a house on the beach in California and have a job I absolutely love. I want to go to the University of South California, but I know schools down there (the UCs) are so competitive, and it will be even harder for me to get in because I’m an out of state student. Do you think I should take advantage of the opportunities right in front of my nose, or should I try to get into a college in SoCal? There are so many amazing colleges here, I just want to get away from everyone I go to high school with. What would you do?




Help with college choices?

I just finished my junior year of high school, and I am stuck on whether I will get into my choice colleges or not. My GPA isn’t great, right now it is at about a 2.7 because freshman and sophomore year I did not think about how selective college can be. I have taken honors classes all though high school, which included honors English, history, and a foreign language class. I have gotten A’s and B’s through my junior year, which was an improvement from the years before, but my SAT scores weren’t so hot. I plan on taking them again, but they were a 400 for math, 410 for critical reading, and 490 for writing. For extracurricular activities, I was on the crew team my sophomore year, and have been a part of DECA for 3 years, which will include an officer position my senior year. I have had many jobs which include working at a peace conference, circuit city for 9 months, and currently an ice cream shop. For community service I have done the walk for hunger and plan on working at the school store during summer school.
I have tried to narrow down my choices based on my GPA and SAT scores, but I’m having trouble. I am looking specifically for schools around the Massachusetts area, and so far I have chosen:
Bridge water State
West field State
Framingham state
MCLA (Massachusetts college of liberal arts)
Mount Ida College
Franklin Pierce University
Fitchberg State

I would prefer to go to a state school because of a scholarship I will receive in the fall, but they seem to get more and more competitive to get into.
Any suggestions on schools in MA or New Hampshire that would be a good match or safety choice based on my situation? Are these schools good choices for me? I need MAJOR help! :(
I am also certain I will get good letters of recommendation, I choose two teachers that know me very well that have also seen my improvement this year.
+ my senior year I am taking 4 honors classes and an AP course, if that helps.
