Help with deciding what to do. (or not do)

[Jabberwocky]

I'm planning on going to college for computer science, particularly internet security.

I'm wondering if there's something I can do to better prepare myself for this particular field. I thought it would be good to start learning on my own, but then I thought maybe I should just wait because maybe I'll learn the wrong way. I don't know. If anyone has gone through this, help would be appreciated. Or any advice in general. Thanks.

The more you can learn - the better! I will bet your classmates know a lot about CS already. So yeah, learn what you can beforehand! You can just google some stuff. Learn some programming (or some MORE programming, depending on what you already know).
