If you're in college and you can make something your friends use consistently (i.e. they'd be bummed if you shut it down), it's ipso facto a good startup idea. Barring, obviously, pathological cases like handing out free money.

(This is true before college too of course, but I actively discourage people from trying to start startups too young. It's premature optimization of your life.)

Do you think college is worth the cost if you can't stand not starting a startup? I realize this is equivalent to asking what the cost of networking is.

Yes, if you pick the right college and learn as much from the experience as you should.

Writing maybe. But if you want to start a startup, it's useful to learn how to program even if you're not good at it. Among other things it will help you when recruiting programmers.

What would qualify as being too young? Is there any smoking gun for maturity to be successful founder?
-
Hard to say with age, since it’s more about business maturity (a lot of people problems). Have seen many teenagers with more business maturity & EQ than founders in their 30s and 40s, so age isn’t the perfect metric for this
