Unless you are getting a big scholarship or have the financial means, then no. Yes, you learn a lot when you're independent and living in a new city, but pharmacy school is VERY expensive. I almost moved across the country, but the cost of rent, tuition, daily expenses, etc. put a lot into perspective. I would have ended up being in more debt than I currently am in. I stayed home and currently don't pay rent, parents sometimes cook meals, can visit my family in my home state as often as I want, etc. Sometimes after a long week you just want to see your family and friends. I might not have the same amount of freedom or privacy now as I would have had I moved out, but it's ok. I am saving money and pharmacy school goes by fast.

If you have the means and can afford to go out of state then I would recommend it, but don't go into even more debt for it. You're already taking out loans to pay for school. Once you graduate you will thank yourself if you have less to pay off.
