I'm about to turn 18, and I have secured an apprenticeship. It's about 45minutes from where I live, therefore once I passed my test, it should be an easy drive. I have been thinking alot lately about how "uni life" and meeting your lifelong friends etc etc. I also have strict asian parents and don't quite have the independence and lenience that I would like, in comparison to moving out? Therefore uni did appeal to me alot in the social life aspect. However, I am pretty set on doing my degree apprenticeship, but I have the opportunity to move in and flatshare with some of the other apprenitces. However, my salary will be 15k. I'm not sure if it's better to stay at home and save that money, or move out, experience living with friends for the first year and then come back home for the rest of the apprenticeship? Or stay at home and save for the whole 3 years and put that money towards a nicer car, house, travel opportunities etc?
