I found a room (£113/w) and I would have to pay quarterly but no guarantor. My mum doesn't want to pay because we've had a lot of arguments about me going out clubbing and hanging out with mates, and dad and sister have said I should be focusing on learning how to drive and saving. Plus mum has said that if I break curfew (it's 11pm) or sleepover at mates houses I'm getting kicked out. I personally just want to be within walking distance to the library to study. I have been told to adapt but studying at home is literal nightmare because it is too comfortable and too far away from uni (awful mix). I live an hour commute and I only go in twice a week, one day 9.30 - 12pm and the other day 9.30 - 4pm. I settled on going to uni in my hometown through clearing because of finances and saving but I realised I have zero knowledge on how to spend, save, divide money, nor what I'm saving for. All I'm really told is just to buy clothes of Shein and made fun of not having money. I have been told it could be for a car, but my mum's giving me her old car. That or holiday, which I won't be able to do anyway unless it's with family. And I'm not planning on getting a mortgage after I graduate. Plus, I do want to learn how to be responsible for myself and learn how to handle conflict with other people that aren't my family, however hard that may be because I just see those things as facets of life. Many in my family are skeptical of me just wanting to go out to club and do things like sex, drugs, and rock n roll (only thing I'm gonna do is rock n roll honestly) but due to a bad A-Level experience I just want to be able to walk to the library and study without the stress of travelling an hour back, get to my sports clubs, and hang out with my friends without forking out an hour there and back to do it, nor fear of being thrown out anyway. Sometimes I do feel like I would be wasting my "benefits" of being a student in my hometown. The pros are not having to worry about money, paying rent for £200 a month, plus transport and any other foods I want to eat. But, a little part of me does want to interact a lot more with other students and be in the city more. I skateboard and having the skate shop, skate park, and other skaters within at most an hour walk would be nice, especially when it comes to street because all I do really is flatground. And being able to sleepover at my other friends houses around the country without being kicked out with no system at all.
