Convincing parents to move out for uni??

Have you considered applying as an independent student you'll get a basic rate but it should cover rent you might need a job and most city's have a lot for students you could even work at the SU

If you do run into financial difficulty the uni student services and SU can and will help if they can with things like hardship funds and things hope I helped if not there are more drastic measures you can take but if you need them you'll need to PM me. Any way good luck

ah okay, that sounds like a really good idea. How should i go about talking to them about it though?

If you want to leave home, you need to leave Sheffield its a good uni but there are plenty of others in the area like Leeds, Nottingham and Manchester if you don't want to be too far.

I used to live in Sheffield but went to Manchester because I wanted to spread my wings.

You don't that's the whole point they won't change so to quote Nike just do it

I'm Muslim and female and am off to University in leeds in September and I live 70 miles away. The difference between my parents and yours is that although culture is important to them, education is on the highest shelf of them all. You could try explaining to them using what my parents told me, "Everyone has to live their own lives one day and God forgive nothing happens in your future marriage but you need to have something to fall back on. Independence and Education so that you can stand on your own two feet".

What your Dad seems to fail to appreciate is he decided to bring you up here you will obviously have some British traits this is not a Muslim country and he would do well to relies we and you as second generation can and do have very different values

I had a Muslim mate and he would drink smoke take drugs he got a few tattoos an by the end of uni he was even eating pork. He was not what you would call a good Muslim.

This is probably the most frustrating thing that's been bothering me lately. My dad being a muslim hasnt helped my cause because he believes that a woman shouldnt leave home until marriage! sexist much? And whenever I try and have a civilised conversation with him about the possibility of moving out he just gets angry and it makes me wanna move out even more.

Another thing is that I'm applying for Sheffield, but I also live in Sheffield. In fact, the student union is only 40 minutes away, if you travel by bus. So if I choose to stay then I dont know any valid reasons as to why I should move out.

My relationship with my parents arent that good because theyre always at work but whenever they're there I feel so suffocated. I just want my own space and experience something new. I love sheffield and its most likely gonna be my first choice so any advice woul be helpful.

Not sure any of this justifies your attempts to convince your parents to move out of their own home, just so that you can get the space you want.

Bit selfish, if you ask me.

I'm pretty sure she means she wants to move out in to halls
