Every person has a different derech hachaim. Some people need college in their lives, some people manage without. If a person who doesn’t need to go to college thinks you are irreligious for needing to, then they’re just silly. Likewise, if you think they are narrow-minded and cloistered for doing as they do, then YOU are silly. Secular colleges are a different kettle of fish, but you still won’t become automatically irreligious by going to one. Bottom line? What matters is how well you know yourself and what your parents/rav/mentor say.
