As I said I think I just want a challenge for myself and during school months I will be working on my extra-curricular and volunteering experiences. I am not going to go for the partying at all, it's just that I believe responsibilites and maturity will help me become a better student and hopefully give me enough will power and motivation to become a doctor. Is this a pipe dream?

By all means, do whatever you think is best for you. I can only speak to you about my experiences in undergrad coming from a pretty controlling family... And while it was at times suffocating having to answer to my parents for those 4 years, the benefits of not having to pay for anything far outweighed having to work and go to school at the same time. If you can move out and still get your parents to pay for stuff, awesome, you are truly one of the lucky few.
