University - do you move away or stay at home?

For some people, moving away is a necessity. For example, if you're going to a university miles and miles away, it may be near impossible to commute from home. However, for some people it may be a possibility. Check out this list I've devised below to give you some benefits of each decision.

If you wish to live at home:

• You won't have to take any loans out to pay rent, meaning you won't have to pay anything back in the future!
• If you're lucky enough, you may not have to do all of your cooking, cleaning and washing yourself.
• You won't have to move all of your things to and from university if you wanted to come for holidays.
• You will still be near all of your family and friends.
• There is the chance of keeping a job if you have one.
• You will be starting university from an environment you feel confident in.

If you wanted to move away:

• You will feel like part of university and campus more.
• Living on your own gives you the opportunity to grow and come more responsible.
• You will be able to make lifelong friends and meet different kinds of people.
• Living away from home will teach you how to cope with adult life.
• You will have your own space.
• It can be exciting and you'll be close to all the parties and nightlife.
