Get one where you're at right now -- probably easier to get your parents to foot the bill, then when you go back to school get one there too. It'll probably be easier to get one in the other state when you already have one granted back home.
That's ideal, but you're going to run into some difficulty getting him served if he's not in your state. This is something you probably ought to talk to a lawyer about. In Oklahoma, we call these things Victims' Protection Orders (VPOs). Here, it's as simple as going to the courthouse, filling out a form, having an ex parte hearing in front of the judge (that means your ex doesn't have to be present) and having them served by the sheriff, then having a hearing later to determine whether there's good reason to keep the order around and what kind it should be (in some cases, the VPO means the sheriff confiscates your guns).
I can't advise you as to how this works where you're at. If there's a YWCA in your area, they could probably tell you what you need to do.
