<p>It seems I have 2 of the most traditional parents in the United States. I am attending a community college at the moment and I feel living at home is more stressful than school itself. I keep telling myself I have to get good grades and transfer out of here a.s.a.p.
I feel that it is only normal for college students that stay up late can get up whenever they want, they do not.
Any advice on dealing with parents and transferring out after freshman year?</p>
<p>Get over it, your time in community college will go quickly and there is nothing you can do short of moving out. If you can afford to do that go right ahead, otherwise you don’t really get to complain.</p>
<p>I don’t say that without sympathy, I complained like crazy when I had to go to community college. I am 21 years old and engaged, and when I go home I still have a strict curfew and am at risk of getting grounded. So my years in CC when I had to live there full time sucked. But it wasn’t my house! You don’t get to live like an adult until you earn it. So try not to get too worked up and focus on the end goal. I promise it will be over before you know it. I went to CC for two years and I can barely remember those two years now, they flew by even if it didn’t seem like it right away. Pick out a school you like, make good choices, breathe, and it will be okay.</p>
<p>Can you suggest a compromise? Tell your parents youre an adult now, and you would like to be treated like one. It means giving up certain things that you may like, or doing more chores around the house. It means not always getting what you want, and maybe paying for your own gas, food, etc.</p>
<p>But, in return, ask that they treat you like an adult. You are going to college now. 
Tell them you need to experience it, experience sleeping in too late, or staying up too late, or going out too late, or seeing what happens when you don’t do your laundry - etc.</p>
