College gives you the opportunity to live in an apartment with real people and real bills while still under the protective umbrella of being a student. In the US, going to college means you have health care (you are paying for it, but you don't have a choice), you have access to fairly inexpensive food, and a lot of advisors who can help you and WANT to help you while you fuck up. That really does help in the transition from living with parents or in a dorm to having a place of your own.
