My parents won't let me live on campus
Hi Everyone,
I'm 19 years old and I'm going to university this year. I live with my parents in London and the university is also in London. I wanted to live on campus to get the whole uni experience but my parents won't let me. Reason being is because they think I'll get involved in boys and have sex which is stupid because I just want to make friends. My dad doesn't understands and only wants me to move out when I'm married. He doesn't understand that the first year of uni is the best one when it comes to socialising. I don't want to live at home because I know I'll be miserable because the only places I'm allowed to go to right now is college and the library. I haven't been to a party since 2012 because I have to be home by 10 and I plan on going to clubs. I really don't like being here also because I don't have a lot of freedom or breathing space. How can I get through this? Helppp

What the hell do your parents have to do with your choice? You are an adult. If you want to live on campus, then move on campus!
Unless they are paying for your course / supporting you financially?
Explain to them how you feel. They're being very unreasonable.
Try to explain to them that you'll miss on on making friends. But ultimately, they may not understand and you should just move out, you can't let them control you all your life.
Break out of that Asian parent trap. I feel sorry for you my parents are awesome and liberal we go drinking together I can go out with anyone I want date etc this is not the dark ages INTEGRATE

Will not living on Campus stop you from doing anything
you can still go to parties and events and stuff and have sleepovers I'm sure.
Maybe go to a different university that isn't in London , they can't expect you to commute. This way your parents will still support you financially.
I agree with everyone else they can't stop you etc.. but I understand it is hard , so I just thought to give you another alternative (admittedly no the best one )

It's your choice, you're an adult your parents shouldn't still be deciding things for you. Sure there's a bit of action going around but Uni's not Magaluf

Irresistible.
You're 19. Do what you want; live your life. Tell your parents this, tell them you are going to live on campus. They might not like at first and it might be difficult for you to do this but you can't be held back like that.
In the long run you will be glad you done it and a time will come when they will accept it.
