Since you're getting ready to move away from family, an airlines rewards Visa could be an idea.
My classmate has a credit card that her family uses to pay tuition. Since they have the cash, they pay it off right away and use the points to get free plane tickets multiple times a year. She just got back into town yesterday--she flew home for the weekend just because the ticket was there and she could.
