The data you're gonna put in is primarily for the place you're gonna live in Limeira. There'll be a place where you can say you're from another state.

You don't necessarily need to have ALL OF THEM. Just the ones that apply to you and your family are enough. That's the only problem. For example: if you put that your parents are separated, you'll need proof of that later on. The same goes if they're married… (In this part, you also put their address proof, proving that you came from another state)
(Extra tip) Coordinate your arrival with some republic. It'll be almost impossible to get an affordable rent for now, especially with so many students looking, so the republics are the best way to start. In Limeira, usually the first month is free, and you can leave whenever you want within that first month. If you want or need to stay, the rents are usually REALLY CHEAP.
If you have any other questions, you can call me in private here.
I'd go to Unicamp. Night shift so you don't have to kill yourself to get an internship, a city that's relatively cheaper than São Paulo. Internship opportunities, leagues, volunteering, ICs, exchanges, etc. are identical to those at USP. Plus the pleasure of doing computer science at the first institution that brought a course of the genre to Brazil.
It's worth noting that if you need it, the aid for staying at Unicamp is better than at USP. They're not necessarily easier to get, but they help you.
Here you can also "choose your curriculum." There's a basic cycle that you'll be forced to follow, but you can specialize in practically any area with elective subjects, receiving certificates at the end.
Regardless of your choice, there's no right path. Everything will depend 90% on you and your goals. The other 10% is that famous "luck" of being in the right place at the right time. And it's pretty common to change your mind during your degree.
