I am 20 years old and live at home. I go to school full time (15 credits, 5 classes) at community college and plan on transferring to a 4 year and commuting and living at home still. I also work 25 hours a week and close to full time during any breaks I have. Should I move out on my own?

No, absolutely NOT! Unless your parents are urging you to leave, you cannot support yourself on 25 hours a week (probably minimum wage).
Talk to your parents. If they are wanting to support you while you pursue your education, let them do so!
Good Luck

Depends on you relationship with your parents. Are you paying them for your keep? Or are you paying for your own college? If you your paying for your own college, stay at home and wash some dishes along with kissing mom and dad goodbye whenever you go somewhere. Also call them when your going to be late. Thas only polite, because I can gaurrentee you they worry when your not home when you normally are. Cell phones make that very easy. Save yourself a lot of stress. You can be independent and still live at home with a little politeness. Growing up means maturing besides getting older!

You don't need to move out as long as you're not married or with kids. You have alot on your plate and if you had your own place it doesn't sound like you'd be there much at all. Of course it also needs to be discussed with your parents, how do they feel? Do you help out around the house when you are home? Mow the lawn? Shovel Snow?

No don't move out. Continue to live at home as long as you can. Save your money. Help your parents out by paying a bill at the house since you are working. You can pay for the phone bill or give your mother some money for grocery's.

NO! If you were a twenty-year-old sitting on your butt at home doing nothing then I'd say yes, but you are doing exactly what someone your age should be doing and living at home is where you need to be so that you have time to concentrate on your school work.
I'm so proud to hear that there are twenty-somethings out there that are actually trying to improve themselves.

If you can handle all the bills then go ahead. But look into the prices of everything today. Rent,telephone bill, gas bill, water bill, and furniture to go into the place. Food every week. That's a lot of money and a big step. Think about it wisely. Good Luck

If you weren't in school, I would say yes. Since your in school, and plan on staying there and your parents are cool with it, it's understandable if you live with them because you're doing something with your life. If you drop out though, you should move out too b/c then you'll just look like a leach.

if your parents are comfortable with the situation then stay at home its a lot harder on your own then u think and the added stress will affect your schooling and job.

If you can afford to then yes. But if it is not an inconvenience to live with your parents then I suggest you save your money for when you are done with school.
