I live at home with my parents- I don't have to deal with landlords/rent, finding an apartment, cooking, keeping the place clean, etc. But I live a little further than everyone else...maybe 10 minutes more than everyone else who has an apartment closer to campus-so I was lucky that I live so close to the school I go to. Some of the negative points are I do have to get up a little earlier and get home later or travel a bit further to go to study groups, but that's no problem. Also, even though I am an adult....my parents still stay up waiting for me to come home even at 2AM and find my dad "watching tv"...so I do lose a bit of freedom. There are several others who live at home or bought a house in the town I live at-so I am not the only one who has to drive 15 minutes to campus commuter lot then bus in.
