Is it a good idea to put that much of your personal information out there with your picture?

UH, no.
For some reason, people seem to think that because the facebook is limited to your school, it's okay to put up your address/phone number/whatever and you won't have any problems. This is ridiculous.
However, I would like to point out that if somebody's smart enough or desperate enough, they'll be able to get your info anyway -- when I was younger, some guy managed to figure out my full name, address and phone number based on my email address. At my school alone we've got the Greek stalker book and the student directory -- it's not like the stuff on the facebook is all that much different. I'm sure that it wouldn't be that hard for someone to figure out who I am simply based on what I've posted on GC -- and it would be especially easy to stalk me last year, when I lived in the house. Face it -- your info is not as hard to find as you probably think it is.
But try to give your stalkers a little work to do on their own.
I would definitely not recommend putting up your address or home phone number on that thing.
