I haven't made as many friends as I would have wanted too but I wouldn't change my experience!

I wanted to move out just to be independent while I was there and it was definitely the right decision for me. But you have to do what's best for you and if you're more comfortable being home then it's the right decision. I knew a lot of people who lived close to uni, moved out for first year just so they had the experience and then moved back home for the rest of the degree and that seemed to work well for them x<br /><br />Sophie <br />www.glowsteady.co.uk Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01946706771121661783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550211163013102433.post-26963413733078490492018-09-30T13:06:41.641-07:002018-09-30T13:06:41.641-07:00I think there are definitely both positives and ne...I think there are definitely both positives and negatives about living at home during university!

Depends on you as a person, and the situation. I feel as you described, if your school is so nearby, it would be more affordable to just stay home, why not? I know it can be costly if you have to pay for living in the University, etc.. I actually only attended a year so far of my local Community College which doesn't have dorms, but if I ever attended University with dorms, and it was nearby my home, I'd probably live with my parents just to save money haha.

But I'd also been away in another country for a year and that made the transition a lot harder - at first I was so glad to be at home, but my brothers kept warning me that it might be difficult to readjust to not having that freedom I'd grown so accustomed to! And it was, and still is something I think about often. Staying at home has saved me a lot of money, but it has also sacrificed my social life a bit - where I was used to being out with my friends till all hours, now I have my parents calling me at nine asking if I want a lift home yet (which is so sweet but also the worst!! haha) Think of the money you're saving, that's what I do! <br /><br />Anne // www.basifpa-and-did.co.ukAnne https://www.blogger.com/profile/12702053897892889636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550211163013102433.post-8661814164612818172018-09-30T12:23:23.589-07:002018-09-30T12:23:23.589-07:00I left home for uni because my uni was very far aw...I left home for uni because my uni was very far away but if it was next door, i would have stayed! i mean, free food and all! home is like a hotel ahahWhat Corinne Didhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08689285553274000402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550211163013102433.post-30476409599416705482018-09-30T12:12:21.890-07:002018-09-30T12:12:21.890-07:00I feel like moving out for Uni definitely made me ...I feel like moving out for Uni definitely made me grow as a person, however I don't think you should feel bad about staying at home at all!

I didn’t live at home when I was in university but i did move home after and have lived at home with my parents for the past two years. That’s a big adjustment because i did learn how to live on my own and handle myself now, like you have to text my parents about my whereabouts. i can’t just say “i’ll be back” without telling them where i’m going and it’s frustrsting. What i try to remind myself is that, everyone has their own path. whether your still in school or not, moving out is different for everyone and there’s not really a “right” or “wrong” time. <br /><br />mich / simplymich.com Michelle Blackadarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073514900738127489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550211163013102433.post-36298268726116549112018-09-30T03:24:23.764-07:002018-09-30T03:24:23.764-07:00In the university I attended, there's a policy...In the university I attended, there's a policy that all first-years are assured of accommodation at the university. I lived there in my first-year. My cousin chose not to because her home was very close to the university. Living in uni was definitely more advantageous than living at home, in first-year that is, because I got to learn the ins and outs of the university and I got to be a little bit more independent. However, I couldn't wait to get my own place out of uni accommodation. There are some things you can't get with university accommodation, your own space for example, and assurance of accommodation next semester or year (once you're done with first year for my uni). So I got a place to rent near the university until I was done with school. Uni accommodation is great though, and definitely more affordable than accommodation outside of uni. But, if you'd still want to live at home, that could work too, it's all about finding a balance, and there are many students who actually choose to live at home because it's much more affordable that way. If you're interested, I have a post on 10 foolproof ways to survive college.

I moved out straight away for uni as there's no universities around where I live at home and my family situation didn't really make it possible either. I'm so glad I did ngl because I'm so independent now, and I love living with my best friends.<br /><br />Megan // http://www.pixieskiesblog.wordpress.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234882937223439710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550211163013102433.post-86636337332317011622018-09-29T18:58:19.038-07:002018-09-29T18:58:19.038-07:00There's nothing wrong with living at home or m...There's nothing wrong with living at home or moving out for uni :). Since you go to school so close, even though it's nice to walk 5 minutes, the difference isn't too big. I feel like for Asians, our parents tend to be more protective over their children (especially the girls). I've lived at home for my first two years of uni before moving out for the last two years. Don't ever let anyone make you feel incompetent for living at home. You save SO MUCH MONEY (ok, it's definitely the case here) - life isn't a cookie cutter :). <br /><br />Nancy ♥ <a href="https://exquisitely.me" rel="nofollow">exquisitely.me</a>mdrnminimalists.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04188413228059156565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550211163013102433.post-61350048510645343142018-09-29T10:14:52.752-07:002018-09-29T10:14:52.752-07:00Hey, darling!
