Good idea, you seem to have a decent net, but yes, never burn bridges.

Don't burn your bridges. Try to keep on as good terms as possible.

You said that he wants you to have a safety net. That doesn't require him to be in the same state as you - if worst comes to worst, you can always get a plane/coach to utah. I would reccomend scheduling to have a lengthy phone call with him at least once a week.
Yea i will miss my family, certainly not my brother but everyone else.

Just keep in mind that your dad isnt an asshole or something.  He might yell or scream or not want to talk about it, but most likely its because he loves you and worries about your future and well being.  Remember that before talking to him.  His decisions are based on the same things yours are, what he/you think is best for you.  If you talk to him calmly and rationaly, and can lay out a real plan with BACKUP contingencies, like maybe someone renting a room near the campus and other job applications allready turned in and a layed out course plan from your schools advisor, I would hope and believe that your father would respect the thought and work you put into it.  Also, think about his arguments agasint your decisions and actually consider them and discuss them, do not dismiss them out of hand.  If you both do taht, i bet you can reach an agreement that both surprises both of you and makes you happy.  Although I am sure your dad will be sad to move away from you, I bet he will be proud of you for your behavior and maturity.
