Starting college for investment banking in Oregon, please help?

I recently graduated high-school and I will be shortly moving to Oregon with my family. My parents are very firm that I should be independent as soon as possible, so they are pushing me to move out quickly and pay for college on my own.

I was not informed we would be moving so abruptly, so I have no idea what schools I should apply to in OR. Does anyone have any helpful input, and maybe the outlook for getting an internship/job for investment banking here while paying for school myself?

Sorry to hear that my dude. I would take a few less credits and then try and work at a gig. IDK what banks are in OR, but you probably are going to have to work at a boutique. I would look at cost of school and try and get into the best one you can. Also for western states there is something called WUE you can possibly see if any, better schools are cheaper that way.
