When you turn 18 you're an adult and your parents have no legal rights to restrict what you do or how you live, nor are they obligated to give you any money or support.
If you have the student loans and scholarships to afford to go to another state or have arranged to stay with your aunt, then you can freely come and go as you please. Don't let anyone tell you differently.
Some parents attempt to emotionally and financially blackmail their children into obeying them throughout their lives, threatening to cut off ties and disown them forever if they refuse to live up to the parents' standards and do what is "expected" of them. Better to cut it off now and live your life than submit.
In a few years I'm sure they'll come around to accepting what you've done for yourself. That's the way of parents and children, it's just becoming more common now-a-days that children are so lazy they'd rather just do what their parents say in order to live an easy life, than to go it alone and become who they really want to be.
I hope you realize the importance of following your dreams and being independent.

18 is an adult in every state. they can move where ever they want. If you are a full time student you can usually stay under your parents health insurance untill age 22 I believe. You should talk to your parents about that. If you move out and your parents are upset and kick you off thier insurance you will have to get a job that provides it or find out if you can get it through the school.
Going to school in another state is usually more expensive. If you do move in with your aunt in that state try to get some mail in your name at that address and try to get the lower residence tuition.

Yes. You can move out. An 18yo is considered an adult in the eyes of the law.

Yes, you are a legal adult at age 18. No fanciness needed there.

Yes, you can, but you need to be sure that you are financially stable. Once you move out, you would need a job, house, and a car. You are considered an adult, but you need to act like one too. Good Luck!
