Sounds like you picked out a good school for what you are looking for. If your degree results in some kind of state license (i.e. medical, law, etc.) you might want to give that some consideration.

I feel that going out-of-state is a good move for your personal growth. Often kids who stay in-state keep the same friends and don't have the opportunity to meet new people and experience new things. It is like they pick up their room and move a few miles down the road but nothing is different for an all new experience. Also when you are out-of-state you are forced to be more independent. You cannot come home every weekend with a bag of laundry. You will learn to make decisions on your own and will grow as a person.
There is a drawback. Out-of-state tuition is much higher. It can all be financed and you could find scholarships, but you will likely have a higher debt when you graduate.
There is a point when you can change your state residency status and get the in-state tuition, there are certain requirements to do so. If you did it would save you money. If you change your residency status or not you can always move back to your home state after graduation.
The biggest factor is if the school you are considering is a good fit for you and what you are looking for in the major you choose as well as the location, size, amenities, student body, cost of attendance etc.

It depends. Offhand, I would go to the school with the program that best suits your learning needs. However, you should also weigh the financial aid/scholarshps etc. so you don't graduate with thousands of dollars in student loans to pay off.
I have a friend whose son was offered two really great packages - one from an ivy league school that would require him to also take out loans of about $20K per year. The other program was from a small, but well-respected college in-state and would require an additional $2500 per year - something a summer or part-time job could cover.
He chose the in-state school because by the time he graduates, he won't be saddled with over $80K in loans - Ivy League degree not withstanding.

Most of the time, no.
Only exception, if you find a college with an "amazing program for what I want to do." If you need to be licensed for something in your home state, make sure that this program is accredited and will fulfill licensing requirements specific to your state. If this is the program where you will thrive and reach your full potential (and can absorb the SUBSTANTIAL difference in tuition), then go for it.

Do it !
There may be residency rules, requiring you to be a resident in the state before you can get the cheaper tuition (especially if it's a State U.). You can still attend, but your tuition might be expensive your first semester.
But, what's most important is that you go to the best school in your field as possible. You may get homesick, but being away is good experience in and of itself.
Of course, moving back home after you graduate is fine.
Good luck

When I started college, I chose the college which was best suited for what I wanted to do in life. It didn't matter to me where the college was, so long as they had what I was looking for.
