Introduction
For years, college students have been told that their college years would be the “time of their lives”, what people don’t tell us, is what makes it the time of our life.
According to a National Retail Federation survey conducted in 2009, "Nearly 49.1 percent of college students will be living at home this year, meaning that just over half of you are living on your own, without the support of your parents. 1. Even though more than half of the college students in America will be living at home, most of them will be supporting themselves financially. a. Supporting yourself financially might not mean paying rent, but most of the time it means paying tuition, paying for books, food, clothes, gas, car payments, and car insurance. 2. The students that don’t live at home have even more financial responsibilities than the rest, most of which people are completely unaware of. I have been in college for a little over a year, and have lived on my own for most lived on my own for most of that time.

    Lee described how her child grew up and “graduated” on time (par. 14). In her motherly aspect, this is positive; however, kids grow to be mature at different rates and the further mature kids do have an easier time succeeding in college. The mature college kids do not think of college as a time to beige drink, oversleep, or drive recklessly as individuals may label the college experience (par 10).…

    Honestly, I know little to nothing about the cost of college, but I have seen the toll of it from my parents. With my sister already in her junior year in a state university, they’ve told me time and time again to save water and electricity to reduce the costs of the bills. When I asked about it they listed to me all the different types of expenses they’ve had to pay for my sister: housing, tuition, food, and clothing. As a high school senior about to graduate and about to go to college, my parents had to pool their savings and what other money they have so that they can brace themselves to support me as well when I continue my education. Although it will be me in campus doing all the work, the cost itself to get me there is a heavy burden…

    Second, More students should go to community college instead of four year universities for their first two years of college, since community colleges are closer to most individuals. It’s a big advantage that you can stay closer to your home, because that makes life easier on yourself. For example, your siblings living at home can do the shores for you like, doing the laundry or fold your clothes, and they would have to do it, because you would be too busy doing homework trying to get a better life. Your siblings will understand. Also, dorms at Universities are very expensive, they cost more than $500 a month on average. The amount of money you pay in one month for rent is the same as paying one quarter at Community College! Its way better staying at home, not paying rent and saving money. People who do this…

    Living with your parents, in all honesty, is a huge privilege. While living with them, they pay for almost all of the expenses including shelter, food, clothes, insurance, and plenty of other important things just to name a few of them. If you want to live on your own, it pretty much means that you are throwing all of those privileges out the window. Moving out and being independent should not be a spur of the moment decision. This type of action should be thoroughly planned out. Living on your own and being independent involves two very important expenses: Start up and recurring expenses.…

    When in college students may need to pay for the things they require such as supplies, clothes and even an apartment. These would be considered as your bare necessitates for living though those four years of college. They would also need to pay for bills for the house like lighting, water and even A.C. Students also need to pay for car payments, food and clothes as well. For example, Yolanda Fosters daughter Gigi Hadid was attending college she had to purchase her own apartment while having to pay for school supplies. Also when Kylie Jenner decided to get her own house, she learned from Kim and Khloe about all the responsibilities it comes with owning a house. These included electricity bills, Gardner and even water…

    In a recently printed study I’ve read, "Nearly sixty seven percent of college students moved back home after graduation, according to 2006 study done by CollegeGrad.com" (qtd.Pinkerton). That would only leave thirty-three percent of college graduates that are actually trying to make it through this thing we call the real world. Those sixty seven percent that are at home taking a break from being independent and not trying to give it their all to try and survive life is back at home with their parents. They also face relationship conflict between their parents. Living at home as an adult and living at home as a teenager is two completely different situations. Not only would it cause relationship problems between the college graduate and the parents, it can also cause marital friction between the parents (qtd.Pinkerton). It would seem harmless for a college graduate to move back in, but in reality there is so much more complications than what it will seem. This is why college graduates should not move back home to their parents after graduating. They should rather try and live by themselves and if they have failed, then they can come and get some help from their parents.…

    The most common reason for students choosing to stay at home is that the cost of living in an apartment is too expensive to handle for someone who has a job that cannot cover the rent. Staying at home gives the student a better opportunity to save more money because a student that stays at home during college has less financial responsibilities. The most major responsibility students in apartments deal with is rent when conversely students that stay at home do not have to pay rent unless their parents ask for it. Even if the students’ parents ask for rent, there is a high chance that the amount that the parents ask for is cheaper than what the student would spend renting their own apartment. Not having to pay a high amount for rent can take a burden off of the student because some students that live alone in an apartment struggle to pay rent.…

    After I graduate college I plan on moving back home with my parents, because it is much cheaper and it will not cost me any money for housing. I won’t have to pay hundreds of dollars on an apartment, or worry about a roommate that is unreliable or unstable. Living at home will help me save money to help myself in the future, to buy the dream house that I want. I plan on giving my mom one hundred and twenty five dollars to help pay a bill or help her with any small house problems. I also want to live at home with my parents because they will be older and the might need my help around the house and the might need me to take care of them by the time I graduate high school and I am willing to do that for my parents.…
