<p>“My parents are concerned that I’m not “ready” to leave home and that “no one would want to room” with me. They are refusing to provide any of their financial resources for these reasons if I go to these colleges, which would require me to live within a dorm.”</p>
<p>Where is that coming from. Do you think their concerns are warranted? There are plenty of extremely messy kids in college dorms. Is there something serious you are not mentioning, or are your parents just being controlling or cheap? </p>
<p>If they won’t give you money for school unless you live at home, though, this doesn’t even matter.</p>
