Is it Possible to break Into VC as a fresh graduate with a Bachelor's?

Currently a first year in college, and I've really come to love VC and I know that it's one of the big sectors of Finance I want to go into besides Management Consulting. I'm planning on transferring to a better school but I wanna know where all the big VC firms recruit from and if VC follows the same target school scale as IB. And Im also curious about the job in terms of travel. I love travelling and solving problems which is what initially allured me to Consulting but then after doing some work with VC I realized I love this too and I wanna know if its common to travel to different offices as an Analyst.
