How to convince my parents to let me live near campus instead of commuting?

@Sybylla I will be paying for it, though with the aid of fafsa. It’s just that he wants me to live at home.

@gearmom I suppose I can… but I’d very much rather living near campus to work and pay rent.

@Gumbymom That’s my dad for you :confused: His argument is that other family friends has done it before… and they got away with it.

@twoinanddone Those are really good points! I just really want to respect my dad and not do something as drastic as to move out (I wanted to at least come home every weekend to give him so peace of mind because he’s very family-oriented)… but I am pretty sure I can finance living near campus (fortunately with the aid of a generous fafsa package)
