I am an 18 year old in my second year of university. I live at home with my dad (I commute to and from uni everyday). I also live with my older brother (21) who is literally allowed to do as he pleases..with no stress from dad. I, on the other hand, must be home by a certain time, can't spend the night at my boyfriend's, have to run everything by him... and he always gives me talks about how I need to be more careful. I need some freedom. This is driving me insane. He was never like this before I started dating someone, and now he's afraid I'm going to become a pregnant drop out on drugs or something. I have always been very careful and responsible and he has no reason to be so worried...other than I'm his little girl. My best friend and I have been talking of moving in together. Do you think it's a good idea? I'd have to take out a student loan, which my parents would give me grief over, I'm currently debt-free... I don't know what to do...

I understand where your dad is coming from.
He is just being a dad. He worries about you and wants the best for you. (You already know that)
Unless this situation is something that you can not live with, if I was you I would stick it out and try to make it work.
If not then go ahead and move in with a friend. My guess would be that it would only last for a little while, then you would end up moving back home.
Good Luck, faith
