Think of all that student debt and if you plan on pursuing a masters later down the road the money might be a hindrance. You're young, I can tell if you're into the party scene. College isn't about that. Yeah people get sucked into it, but don't do it to much.You're college experience should be more about the academics and the extracurriculars that could land you that job once you graduate. Also, if you already have a major or an idea of a major looking at a school where they program is good or great should also be a priority. Branch out. Don't go and follow your friends. Be your own person and enjoy being in college. Go where ever you want to go. If you're social like it sounds like - you won't have any trouble meeting new people and enjoying the life where ever you go. You don't want to look back 5 years from now and say I wish I'd gone there or done that but I was to afraid. I'm not saying out of your comfort zone is easier. It just makes you a better and stronger person. Good luck. Instate would be cheaper in the long run.

In this case you would probably get your B.A. in biology and then your Pharm.D. Since you'll have to get two degrees, it's probably wisest to save up your money in the beginning and then try to get into a really great Pharm.D. program. I wouldn't try to go to Florida because your friends are there. Sure, you can apply to a couple schools there, but I wouldn't let your friends' decision affect yours. Thinking off the top of my head, here are some universities I would recommend: Pitt Penn State Slippery Rock Lehigh Robert Morris SUNY Binghamton SUNY Stony Brook Drexel George Mason (GMU) Christopher Newport (CNU) Mary Washington Old Dominion (ODU) U of Richmond NC State UNC-Charlotte Clemson College of Charleston Florida Atlantic (FAU) Florida International (FIU) New College of Florida Central Florida (UCF) If I were you, I’d go to a cheaper school for your pre-pharmacy studies and a better, more expensive school for your Pharm.D.
