Hi! I wanted to get some insight into my situation - I just started my freshman year at my local college and I’m still living with my parents, but I want to move out as soon as possible. All other things aside, I could move into the dorms at any time and have enough money from scholarships to pay housing fees, but my parents don’t want me to move out until at least sophomore year. My working plan is to wait until second semester to move out because by then I can sign the housing contract without my parents’ signature required. The biggest risk is they might try to take my car, but it’s a risk I’m willing to deal with if it arises because I mostly just want to be out of here.
I was also thinking about maybe transferring out of state next year, I don’t have anywhere specific in mind yet but I would love to leave the state at some point. I hesitate because I want to be able to support my younger siblings and I would be giving up a lot by leaving, including opportunities I don’t know if I could get as lucky with anywhere else, but I also think I would be much happier living somewhere else. Is this worth pursuing? Any other advice/thoughts?
