[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not unusual, but honestly going to college doesn't seem like "moving out" to me. Its like the summer camp equivalent of moving out or the study abroad equivalent of being an expat. Sort of cosplay adulthood. I am not knocking it obviously but its less "real world". Even though I paid for my crappy summer rentals and what not, I didn't feel "moved out" until I graduated and got a FT job and rented by own (slightly nicer ) apartment with my roommate.[/quote]

I agree, I wouldn't count going to college as moving out.  You still come home on breaks, the summer, presumably have Mom and Dad supporting you financially.  To me, "moving out" is you are on your own for the most part.  Not an inbetween step like college.[/quote]

I moved out at 18 to go to college.  My parents didn’t support me financially; they didn’t have the $.  I did come to there house during breaks by first 2 years but I slept in the couch, as my brother had moved back home and taken my bedroom.  (He slept in the dining room while we were in HS.)  I never saw it as my place, though.  Just a place to visit while dorms were closed.  I definitely was “moved out”, not cosplaying.  We are not all rich.[/quote]
