I wouldn't go across country if it's just for the university experience. You can get the university experience an hour and a half from home, living on campus. I know you think you can handle your parents having absolutely no way to come to you for some reason, but it gets tough. I lived four hours away from home last year to go to a university in Miami. I had a blast, made a ton of friends. It was the best year of my life. But in February I got Salmonellosis because my food wasn't taken care of (My fault). I was vomiting so much I had to go to the hospital and get IV fluids to save myself from dehydration. It was extremely scary since it was something I'd never been through before, and all I could do is call my parents. There was no way they could come and bring me medicine and stuff.
Do you think you can handle being completely isolated from your current friends and family? Is your family willing to take on the extra loans to send you across country? Then go ahead.
If you want to be better safe than sorry, but still getting the college experience, go to the university that's closer.
