If all your friends were under 21 and they studying in university and for some anomolous reason does not stay in a hostel does seem little odd to you?
 
In a tough economy you have to. Especially when young people take low paying jobs. I think its even good if somone is trying to make something of themselves by going to college.
 
I'm almost 20 and still live at home. My mom would like me to stay until I'm married..lol. I don't think it's weird unless you're living off them, but I have a full time job and go to school also. It saves me much-needed money to live at home right now. If you get along with your parents just fine, I don't see the need to rush out while you're in college. You could be saving up for a down payment on a house or something, instead of wasting money on an apartment.
 
no it doesnt seem strange to me to live with your parents when you are still in school
 
no im 24 and still live at home and dont have plans to move out for a long time yet!! its a bad world out there stay safe at home where its cheep and you get your washing and iroing done for you! and always get your fav meal on a sunday! :)
 
No, I know of several young men and women who have supporting parents, that stay in there parents home for various reasons. What matters is your not living OFF your parents, you have your own job and way of life.
 
In the US it's pretty common to live with your parents throughout college. It's expensive to stay in the dorms.

If you get along well with your parents and they don't mind, I think it's totally fine. Now, mind you, living at home shouldn't be an excuse for not working or supporting yourself. You should be paying rent, or some of the utilities, or at the very least buying some groceries and helping with dinner/chores.

I lived with my mom for all six years of university. We joked sometimes that I was a "failure to launch," but the arrangement actually was great for both of us. I helped with bills and chores around the house and we got to become "adult friends." After I moved out, she used to ask me all the time to move back in to save money. By then, I was ready to be out on my own. Wouldn't change what we had for the world though!
