Hey, just put it this way, I think any colleges you are choosing shouldn't be a big issue as long you go for those have a good reputation one. In fact I am a lecturer in one of the well know college, and have seen many students transferring in and out....For me the most important you are looking forward would be how much you are willing to learn in term of your own effort. Any college will do a good job if you are hardworking enough.

Of course if the college can have more opportunities to link and work on real industry projects than would be much better for you to own a stronger portfolio when you have graduated and work at industry in future. That may be one of the consideration for you.
Other than that, to know more about graphic design issues,..you may visit to my blogs too:
