I think you should! First off, though, you need to look at the economics of it--how much is it REALLY going to cost? Here, living off campus is so much cheaper than living in the res halls, and no one does it after sophomore year. Will you need to keep up your car? Could you switch for a bike? Use public transport? How much is an apartment near campus? Would you stay where you are? What's the campus like where you want to go? The atmosphere? There are a lot of questions to ask and a lot of answers to find.
Remember, going to college full-time isn't just about all the lessons you learn in the classroom. Even as a mature student there are lots of things to learn around campus, from your fellow students, and from the lifestyle.
