I didn't really explore my AB/DL side much until I entered college. In fact, I actually lived in a fraternity house and was still able to find opportunities to indulge without arousing suspicion.
It all depends on how important this aspect of your life is. I would say it's somewhat unlikely that you'll be able to do away with it forever, but some folks have had success in that regard.
Remember that the college life is, in part, an unencumbered venue for exploration bereft of constant parental oversight. How you chose to take advantage of that benefit is your choice, but you may actually find it much EASIER to indulge your AB/DL interests if that is what you decide.
Is it worth it? Well...that's a very loaded question that will yield very subjective answers. In my case, college allowed me the chance to better understand myself and my desires. More importantly, it taught me that - despite this - I was still able to make friends, excel in school, and build the confidence I needed to tackle the adult world after graduation. In other words: Yes. For me, it was and still is worth it.
AB/DL is - after all - only one aspect of our personas. We are defined by much, MUCH more than what we wear under our jeans. You're very young now, but I promise -- eventually, you will have this awakening too.
