Looking to pack your bags and move far, far away from home? While many students move away for college to explore and experience new places, most end up staying close to home, or at least in their home state. As you decide on where you'd like to go, keep these questions in mind: How far do you want to be from friends and family? Is travel expense an issue? How often will you be able to see your family? Does the idea of a new distant cultural experience excite you? Do you want to experience a change of scenery or weather?
