Should I move out for college? Is it worth it?

I'm 22!

I'm also so just know College means the same thing as Uni, I'll use them interchangeably.

I'm returning to college and I'm back living with my parents while I commute to college.
I drive so at the moment my expenses are €50 a week on petrol, plus saving towards insurance and what not.

College is about 45 minutes drive from my parents place, maybe more..
It's fine I don't mind the drive.

I work in a town that's about 30 minutes drive from home.. so if I lived in student accommodation it'd be 10 minutes drive.

Accommodation isn't crazy money since it's a small college..
1 8 hour shift covers the cost of accommodation for the week.
Cost of running my car would be less too.

Main reason I'm looking at moving out is I'm bored.
I just go to college, go to work and lay around at home.
I don't go out, even though there's not a big going out scene at my uni.

If I stayed living at home I would have a lot more money to spend..
That's the main benefit honestly.
You say the main reason you wanna move out because youre bored
If theres not much to do at the uni, you would be bored there too.
I would suggest to make plans to do somethin with friends or even join a club. Keep yourself busy than staying home.
