Should I stay home or move out?
I’m in my second year of college and my original plan was to go here for 2 years while living at home,save money and transfer to a university in another city.But my college is a really good school that offers degrees, and has great opportunities. I’m traveling abroad for pennies this year becuase of it, and next year my same club is going to China, and this is a club of people going into my career and in the trips you network with other people in your career field. Also the profs are really great, and becuase of the small class size i’m doing great and have gotten scholarships every year becuase of it! I’ve saved enough money to avoid student loans so far, and still work during school to keep it that way.I’ve met great people and have a social life,but I hate living at home. I want to go to a new and cxciting city, adventure, and just finally be free. Is freedom worth leaving a good school? My city is really expensive to live in,a friend lives in a room in a basemnet for $400 a month.
Its really about making yourself comfortable. I mean it sounds like you have it great being at home, but trust me I KNOW about the call of freedom…its hard to ignore. Best I can say is weigh the pros and cons….can you really afford school and to move out with all the bills and not take out student loans? If you moved out would you have to work more hours? If you worked more hours would you still be able to socialize? I would think it would be hard to pay rent and study abroad at the same time……..
I live on my own and have for years……I transfer in Fall of 08. Im moving back home because I would rather have that rent in my pocket than to spend it on rent just for the sake of being “free”….but I also weighed the pros and cons for myself before making that choice………moving in with my mom won by a hair.
