<p>I could live at home if i wanted to, but NYU is expensive and we’re not getting any FA. I’d feel guilty asking my parents for an extra $12K when I could live at home for free. Plus after frosh year, NYU dorms get far away, so they’re not really “on campus” anyway (we don’t have a campus). I wouldn’t want to go to college in my hometown, but I’m from a suburb outside Manhattan so I still get the new environment of NYC even if I’m not living there. </p>
<p>I guess it really depends on how your family is. I’m like the cleanest person in my house lol and i’ve been doing laundry since Middle School, but yeah, I guess if you live at home like a slob, you’re not really growing up. I feel like living at home gives me more resonpsibility cause on top of classes/job I have to always babysit my sister and help her do her homework, clean the house, drop her off places (i’m like a live-in nanny lol).</p>
