I'm a nineteen year old community college student, still living at home with my parents. I previously went away to a university last year as a freshman, now living back home is a BIG adjustment and I would do anything to be able to afford my own place. My parents, it seems like, are even more stricter than they were to me when I was in high school, even though I'm almost 20. If I could afford my own apartment, I would leave this house right now. However, the amount of hours that I would have to work to even afford everything would be enormous. Many of my community college friends still live at home with their parents too, however, they express little interest in getting an apartment, which would have been the cheapest way to do it, getting an apartment with a bunch of friends so individual rent payments would be much lower. Why has society made it so hard for young adult college students to make it on their own?
