you could attend a state university or a junior college over on the west coast...it's nice and sunny and warm here! there are plenty of state universities and JCs around the Los Angeles area and surrounding area, so you could reach the beach and still get an education :) the requirements for those places are pretty lax, so long as you graduate from high school, pass that high school exit test, and have the right SAT scores(depending on the state university). good luck dude :-P

Check into the San Diego schools: UCSD, SDSU, University of San Diego. The first 2 are state schools and the third is private. I think they also all have surfing programs there.

SDSU is probably the easiest/cheapest to get into. You just have to select an area for a major that is not really a high demand at that school. There are also several JCs (junior colleges) in the area and those only require that you graduate from high school. Once you get in there, it is easier to transfer to the state school of your choice with fewer prerequisites.

another requirement is to have money, seeing that you're an out-of-state. :)

University of North Florida - Jacksonville, FL. Not as big waves as the West Coast, but it's got warm water year round, just about and a three millimeter wetsuit will about cover you.
