Why go out of state and pay 3x as much? Not that UA wouldn't love to have you but I'd say do yourself a favor and go to the best public college in your home state. Also, I agree with not being in a big hurry. If you could get an associate degree and land a job, many or most companies offer tuition reimbursement as a benefit. And you could see how you like the work before deciding to complete the bachelors.
