My recommendation is get a 5-6 inch Full suspension bike, and get a second cheapo bike for riding to school. You can get into the full suspension market for around 750.00 for a decent bike but should be looking closer to the 1200-2500(brand new) range. I suggest keeping an eye out on craigslists. Especially now that bike season is starting to wind down. Some upper end bikes go for a good price. Also pay attention to the area you plan on moving to and ask what kind of trails they have. My suggestion is to reask this questions on mtbr.com
