Again, I really recommend you avoid going home on the weekends once in college (unless it's an emergency or you're on break or something). Way too many kids who lived up to five hours away did this at my university, and in my opinion it's just not healthy. They didn't seem to develop as independent adults the way the rest of us did.
The main reason I didn't go to my back-up (U. Wash.) or any other school in my state was because they were too close. And, I didn't want to go to a school where I knew I'd be running into a lot of people that I had been going to school with for 12 years already. I applied to and was accepted to a random group of schools too (Pepperdine, U. Southern Calif., Boston U., UW, WWU, U. Puget Sound), but ultimately the decision came down to a bunch of different factors, with the visit and financial aid being the deciding factors.
