Reno or Boise?

I have lived in Reno my entire life and like it here but know that I can not live here forever. I want to be an athletic trainer and major in kinesiology at BSU. I have to decide, though, if I should move to Boise this August or next August. I have also never lived on my own and I am 19 years old.

Pro: 

Moving to Boise this August:
- I will reach my goal one year sooner.
- I am a social butterfly and will be able to meet new people.
- I will be gaining Idaho residency to make the tuition cost of BSU lower when I start taking classes there the next year.

Moving to Boise next August:
- I will have a year of experience of living on my own with a roommate before living alone.
- I will have more credits to transfer to Boise State form the community college here in Reno.
- I have one more year to prepare myself to move.
- If for some reason I fail at living on my own I can fall back to my parents even though it is not something I would enjoy doing.
- I already have a good job here however it is not one I plan on keeping for long term.

Con: 

Moving to Boise this August:
- I will be looking for a job in August.
- I will be living on my own for the first time.
- I will be alone.
- I will be only taking one community college class while I gain Idaho residency before attending BSU. (But this will happen no matter when I move.)

Moving to Boise next August:
- I will be a year behind on my dream.
- I may regret not moving to Boise when I had the opportunity.
- I may not be happy with my roommate. (We have known each other for nine years but have similar strong personalities and we may butt heads.)
