I wanted to leave my home town area for college- desperately wanted out of the house and away from home. I ended up living on campus in town because it was by far the best school and finances mattered. Ended up loving my school and rarely saw HS classmates or went home. If going to school close to home becomes a reality it can still be a great experience if the school is a good fit. Be sure to live on campus, not at home, especially your first semester. Pay attention to the points raised by other posters. Money is a very real issue as well.
