I live at home. Before I started college, I was absolutley desperate to move out and was willing to live in a closet, if that meant not living with my biological father. However, now that I've started, I'm not as desperate to move out as I once was.

I live at home due to delayed self-care skills and lack of emotional readiness to leave home. My parents are great - they said I can stay at home until I'm ready to leave, they won't push me out because of age. But I would like to move out because I now live too far away to attend my preferred university, so I have to go to a different one I don't like as much.

I live at home still and I'm 20. I enjoy being at home while going to college, for the most part. It can be tough to get work done, since I have two 3 year old brothers, but it's worthwhile to be able to see them grow everyday. ^.^

I am living at home. I'd really like to move out and live alone, but that's just not possible right now because I don't have a "real" job. I'm giving guitar lessons, but I don't make near enough money to move out. I don't particularly like living with my dad and uncle a lot of the time, mostly because I like to be alone.. But I don't think I would do well in a dorm with the college lifestyle, I can't afford to live alone, I don't have friends to have as a roommate, and I wouldn't like living with a complete stranger in an apartment, so.. it's just not happening right now sadly.

I'm living at home because it's impractical to pay rent to live with some guy you don't get along with.

I leave my iPad and electronics at home and walk to school.

When I don't feel like living at home, I sleep in my car and have a shorter walk to school.

Yes, I still live at home with my family as I take classes because I don't have a job
and I am going to a community college.

I lived at home with my parents during college because the college dorms and apartments were so expensive that my parents were too reluctant to pay for the college housing bills. Second of all, I had trouble finding jobs during my college years (thus, I didn't have any money to pay for housing).

I always have. I went to a community college for two years that was 10 minutes away from my house. Now I got to a state college twice a week that is 35 minutes away. It's well worth the drive and I would never even think of living on campus Plus I work 30 hours a week anyways.

I'm at home, but not for long. Heading off to live on campus. I have not decided where to go yet, but New Mexico tech is $9k/year, including housing.
