I guess this post is more appropriate to those students who lived in the province for there entire life, and chose to study in the city for there college years. I know the first time that idea pop out your mind, you were all too excited and can't wait for that day to come. Well, that what I felt back then.

Disadvantages:
1. You have to wash your own dirty clothes - I dreaded doing my laundry, but for a student with a limited resources I eventually got used to it.
2. Nobody will tell you to eat, no home-cooked meal - you prefer to buy your food at the nearby store, specially when the house you're renting doesn't have their own kitchen.
3. You have to get used to eating the same food for breakfast and lunch - prefer to just open canned food for breakfast and eat the left-over during lunch time.
4. You have to wash the dishes and do all the house chores - You don't want to leave your dirty plate on your bed, so no other choice than to wash it yourself.
5. You have to do your own grocery - It's all up to you on what supplies to buy, queuing for the cashier are the worst.
6. You have to wake up on your own, without anybody waking you up - Bad news for those who are dependent to their mom, she won't be there to wake you up so set your phones on full volume or you'll be late to school.
7. You have to budget your allowance - allocating a budget for your monthly supplies is very difficult, but budgeting that insufficient amount of money is the worst. Specially when you have an emergency project at school, no choice but to give that last drop of money and settle for a biscuit for a meal.
Perks of living alone:
1. When your friends set up an unplanned party - you don't have to ask for permission from your parents.
2. You're always free to go - You're always available when somebody ask you to hangout.
3. You get to go home late and drunk with out your parents knowing
4. You can have have a sleepover at your classmate's house without asking permission from your parent. You can even travel on weekends for an out of town adventure.
5. You're your own boss, nobody's get to boss you around - If you're feeling lazy, by all means sleep all day!
6. You will learn to do things your way - Oh yeah! you become wiser and it teaches you to be practical.
7. It teaches you to do chores you don't normally do at home - You become more responsible and you learn the difficulties life offers.
8. You become more aware of the value of money - You will understand how hard your parents have to work to give you allowance.
9. You will value your family more.
