New Oriental Education Online

I’m going to be attending college soon, but i really want to know if it’s worth it to leave state or even my house to gain my education.
As of right now, I’m still in high school, I’m a good student, an honors student, but one who may be limited by money. I have only heard of people obtaining an online degree or education in order to farther their education, not actually obtain one. I was told to find information about attending or learning college online.
Can anyone help me out?
