I'm in a dorm room most of the year, although like most other college students on here I go back to the parents' for the long breaks. Thankfully my dorm room is too ridiculously small for even the most tight-fisted of housing directors to think of putting two people in, so I pretty much have the freedom that goes with living on your own. I'm financially dependant on the parents for the room and for the education itself, but as long as I keep bringing down A's and keep the scholarship money flowing they're happy to put aside what would have been half of their discretionary income to support me.
I don't have a car. The parents aren't giving me one and there isn't much outside of walking distance that I need to get to when I'm at school. I've got enough friends who like my company enough to go 10 minutes out of their way to pick me up to make most of the off-campus events that I want to go to. The mass-transit system here in St. Louis is both pitiful and crime-ridden, so I go to an event or party on-campus whenever I can't find a ride.
