In state or out of state?

I was wondering if it'd be best to stay in state or leave for college. My GPA is so good it would be basically the same cost for both, so that's not a concern. The problem is, most of my friends are staying in state and I'm too close to my parents to never see them. Is it worth it to try to experience living in a boarding state?

It depends on your priorities. Look at both schools, which fits YOU better? Being one state away isn't too far; depending on which state you're from, you'll be able to see your parents and friends often. There is also the option of transferring if you stay close to home and want to explore. If you go far and want to move back, same thing, transfer. Since finances aren't a concern, I would just make a list of priorities and whichever college matches that and feels like it is for you, go there.
