+1 for moving out if you develop a reasonable budget and can afford it. It is way more expensive, but the experience and fun to be had is totally worth it. You do have to be a self-starter. If you are the type who is easily distracted, it could be really hard to do all the school work you need to.

Even though I've always gotten along with my parents, I couldn't wait to get out on my own. The independence is just glorious. The place is YOURS. YOU can do whatever you want to without worrying about pissing off the 'rents. I was out when I went to college at 18 and - aside from summer between freshman & sophomore years - never went back.
