Not much of a choice I had, in general. I don't live in dorms, like I said. I still live with my parents, though it isn't really my choice. But just like I'm not your average standard type of guy, I'm not a your average standard type of student either. 
But if you ask me, those two relate a bit to each other.
I could say: "I am going to leave home as fast as possible," but that's easier said than done. As long as there is no house free out here, I don't have much of a choice. After all, sleeping in a park is not really my favorite way of living, if you get what I mean.
University, College, school, whatever. The one I am in now, (I've not graduated yet) is only an hour away from where I live with the bus. Fifteen minutes (or so) with the train and about four and a half hour when going with my bike, though that could be longer. And by all means, staying with my parents is the cheapest solution, not to mention that the same counts for most of my friends. Only a handful are living on their own, with an exception with two of them, who are temporarily living in a different nation (France for one of them, England for the other, if I remember correctly).
