What does everyone think of staying at home while doing their undergraduate degree? The best university in the country, for my subject, happened to be fairly close (15 miles), so I decided to stay in the parental home. This is fairly common here, but significant amounts of people also live in halls/private flats, but accomodation is really pretty expensive. I get on pretty well with my parents, and they pretty much let me do what I want "in their home", so I don't feel I'm missing anything: but am I?
