The main thing here is, remember, when you get your degree, your GPA won't be plastered on it. Go to college and learn whatever you want. Take as long as you need. I'm transferring, so it's gonna take me more than 4 years. That's so common. You don't have to finidh in 4 years. You can switch majors.
And hey, take a risk. I'd put money on the fact that your lack of design skill is naievity. Take some classes. Work at it. Hey, maybe even minor in it. No one can expect you to be good at something innately. Aside from eating, breathing and sleeping and all that survival junk, people have to learn things. I mean, think about the best artist you know. Went to school for years, right? Have you ever seriously studied design? If you want to, go for it. It seems like that's where your heart really is.
I'd say study in design and science, pick one as a major and minor. You don't have to pick which one will be which till your second year anyway. Explore! You're too young to set yourself into this nook. Seriously. Stop being old. ^-^ Be free.
And yeah, it may take more loans, but you'll be a lot happier paying 'em off if you got something good out of it.
