I don’t know your plans for the next year either. So, there is just too much I don’t know here. Are you planning to work the following year? Go to graduate school? If it is work, then the situation is not going to be different next year or a half year earlier…the issues will be the same no matter when you graduate as far as finding a job and living situation. As far as an internship that doesn’t pay that well…it would be cheaper for your parents to help you with rent in an apartment where you are now than pay another semester of tuition…so it could be seen as a stepping stone to graduate school or a career, and as an alternative to staying in college just to take more courses even though you can graduate. I don’t know where you go to school For instance, some seniors may have an apt. off campus. Let’s say you were one of these…first semester you are attending school, second semester, you are interning somewhere…you still have similar social life but rather than pay tuition for courses beyond graduation, you are doing an internship. That’s one example of many possibilities for you. But I don’t know nearly enough about you or your situation, your field, your plans the year after that, etc. to say much more than this example.
