Question

The code has a class called colleges with a combo box that allows the user to pick which states he/she wants to view the colleges from, I have to make it so when the user clicks on a college in the list it brings them to a new JFrame with information on the college.

First code is my Colleges Class:

public class Colleges extends javax.swing.JFrame {

/**
 * Creates new form Colleges
 */
public Colleges() {
    initComponents();
}

/**
 * This method is called from within the constructor to initialize the form.
 * WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is always
 * regenerated by the Form Editor.

Answer 1

To your main problem: add a ListSelectionListener like this:

jList1.addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener()
{
    public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent event)
    {
        String markedState = jList1.getSelectedValue();
        //... create your new JFrame
    }
});

And as @MadProgrammer said, compare your strings with .equals() instead of "==" and if I see that right, instead of asking everytime with "if" you could do "if" for Alabama and "else if" for the other states.
