My unsolicited advice would be to seek out a college/university with 1. a well-developed coop/internship program and 2. a well-developed study abroad program. #1 is almost mandatory; #2 gives you amazing life experiences that can't be duplicated any other way.
College is the time to take chances, expand your boundaries, realize who you are. FRC mentoring is a noble thing to do, and certainly inspires passion, but the next 4-6 years are perhaps the only time of your life that is completely about you. It's up to you to determine what that means.

RIT in Rochester, NY has a very well established co-op program, and has campuses in Croatia, Kosovo, and Dubai, as well as Faculty-led trips to numerous other countries(
http://studyabroad.rit.edu). I am a Computer Science major there and absolutely love it! Their Engineering programs are excellent as well.
We don't currently have any FRC teams, but we have a lot of interest and will most likely be starting one soon. We also have a
CAR(formally CARD) team, if you're interested in competing at a college level instead of just mentoring high schoolers.
