This topic is a bit of an oldie (which I found while typing in "Nintendo" in the archive search :) )
The main questions asked were: (1) How do people switch into the Muggle world? and (2) How do wizards go to college?
Firstly, I believe that if someone wishes to go to college, they enter the muggle world. But then how to answer the Muggle world?
I have thought long and hard about this question. (I am in the process of creating a fanfic in which J.K. Rowling (and a few execs at the Nintendo company) are magical.) Here's the reasoning I have derived.
If someone wishes to enter the muggle world, or they are squibs and feel that they have talents that muggles would better appreciate, they go to their government's "Department of Muggles" or something of that nature. (I made it up.)
There, they get a "fake history" loosely based on their own, and a Social Security number. Then, they go into the world, and explore the world. Once there, they may wish to go to a Muggle college and then return to the Wizard world, forgetting their former mugglishness, or they may get into a business and live a happy life.
(For reference, my "false theory" states that Joanne Rowling decided to go to a muggle college to study. After that, she started writing, mainly in the wizarding community. Then, Harry Potter decided to allow her to write a story based on his Hogwarts years.)
