<p>okay, isn't the whole point of college life is to learn how to be independent and live on your own by living in a dorm, away from your parents and their rules?</p>
<p>well i live in fullerton and i plan on going to UCI.. which i know is only 30 minutes away... my mom is adamant about me not living away from home because of the money issue... is there any way that i can persuade her to let me live away? (she's kind of mad at me for not making it to any of the UC's..)
i mean... isn't it better for me.. (networking & friends-wise) to live away from home?
i don't want to have to come home before 11 every night!! what kind of college life is that?!</p>
