Mmm figure out where you want to be. and check craigslist as well as google apartment prices. the more often you look, the more you'll know what the range for the area is and when a good deal is popping out.

find roommates. And i'm not saying necessarily ask around your friends and figure out who else wants to fly the coop, i mean decide the right timing and, if necessary, place a craigslist ad (or if you're a little fuzzy on the 'where', you could instead look at the roommate postings)

The only requirement is to have a steady income. this nest egg people talk about before moving isn't really required, unless you don't plan on working right away.
I guess maybe find the job first? is what happened to me.

Good luck, and its not too hard or too bad moving out on your own :) me and my yuki-kitty love it :D

Heh, yeah.
The job part is what scares me xD
I'm pretty sure Id have no car >:
I think things may get settled between me and my parents, they arent that cold... or at least I hope not.

Thanks <3

I was almost in the same situation. I would still love to move out but sadly I would not be able to live on my own because of school and poor finances because of it.

I would say the best thing to to is to find a steady job before you move out, find at least one roommate who you can trust. also if something bad does happen like you loose your apartment make sure you have good friends or faimly members who would like to help you in an emergency. Hope this helps :c

Thanks, it does. Helps me consider somethings <3

I'd drag you here if we had the space ;_____;
But there isn't much that can be said that others haven't. Make sure to have a steady job with decent income and a possible roomate. Personally I'm find someone you know decently besides a random stranger just so you know what you're getting into. Just remember the olf saying "you won't know somebody truly until you live with them."

I really hope things work out for you. I can understand wanting to leave parents as my bf and I live with mine right now.

minus the typos as I am fail XD

Heh, thanks.
Unfortunately, my best friend is off to go back to school in the spring and has no need for a roommate.

My dad is all "regardless of the grades, I still support you". I have no idea what to say to that, my dad rarely shares his feelings beyond my studies.

Eh, I dunno. So much to think about, I do have time if it does come down to this. My parents cant boot me out till they get back from their trip in mid march e..e

I don't know what advice I could give but I would really try to work out something with your parents first if you don't feel you are ready. Need to find the path you will take next and make your plans accordingly, that's what I would say.

With that, though, if worse comes to worse you're welcome to stay at my den for a bit but I would expect some compensation at some point, I'm not gonna pay for anyone to live with me who isn't a mate XD

xD
Totally understandable and I appreciate the offer; would probably be as a very very last resort thing.

I am talking with my parents, I did tonight, but we aren't very good with communicating. I never really get to put my foot down about anything and its only been this year were I've actually been brash and disrespected my parents by not thinking as to what I was saying.

I do want to walk away with a degree, but I'm tired of being disappointed all the time. I enjoy myself in the classes I take, I want to continue, but I am on the fence. I'm going to be quite sad if I don't get into the program, but I told my dad that they would have to take me down fighting; that I'd involve my professors into this matter as they could vouch for my willingness to transfer into the school.

I just detest people being bureaucratic :C I had to deal with that pain when I went to Purdue my first 2 years of school.
