Default 21 and i feel like mid life crisis

K so i just turned 21, and i feel like i'm losing my best years right now. None of my friends want to party, and i want to drink and go out all the freaking time. The perfect atmosphere for this is obviously college.

When i was 19 i went to my local college (with no residence), but lived at home. I didn't meet many people. Went back again this year, to the same college while still living at home, didn't meet many people.

Not really any idea what i wanna do with my life

I'll pause here and tell you all i know that posting on the 2+2 forums for advice is ill advised, but any personal experiences will help me with my decisions.

So now i'm 21, moved into an apartment to try and meet people and play poker full time. Theres like 500 people in my apartment, and nobody is ever around. They all go to school, and come home. The halls are always dead.

I've done well at poker, but i'm realizing at a very early age that money does not buy happiness. I drive a mercedes and my bankroll is around 20k. Not hugely impressive for this website, but not bad to have 50kish to your name at just turning 21.

So here's what i wanna do. Leave the city and go to a big college thats like a city. Van Wilder style. Take classes that interest me (guitar, maybe some personal training stuff).. cause i really have no idea what i want to do. Leave my nice apartment for a crappy dorm, but thats key. Live on campus. Sleepless nights, lots of drinking, parties all the time. God i'd kill for that for a year. I really don't care if it costs me 15k to do that... i feel like my life is passing me by.

So, my question to you guys.

a) What'd ya think?
b) I currently live in canada, city population about 350,000. Not too small, but the university here is awesome. like 25,000 students, awesome residence. Been to a few parties there and its exactly what i want. BUT i don't wanna move into residence in my own city.
c) College big enough to have city-like atmosphere, but not so big that you NEVER have to leave it.
d) Gotta have good reputation for wicked dorms and parties
e) Can't be ivy league... i got like 15k for the year and whatever i make playing poker. My grades are like straight B's
f) Can a canadian play online poker in america?

Thats all the questions i can think of for now. Any real input is truly appreciated.
