Re: move out or what?
Its not always about what's cheaper. We pay a price for modesty and we pay it willingly, and when it comes to gheerah for our women, what's cheaper isn't a concern.
I don't mean to put you down, but you're only 18 and you've seen nothing of the world compared to what your parents have, no matter how much TV or movies you've watched, books and magazines you've read, or what you've heard from friends and family. They have real reasons to want you to either be with a [practicing] Muslim room-mate, or to stay at home instead of on-campus.
Think about it from your perspective when you tell a little toddler not to go out alone, or to wander off, etc. You know some of the dangers that exist, you know the toddler isn't aware of stuff like traffic laws and how to cross the street, and what bad neighborhoods look like, etc. And the toddler most likely simply listens to you because you're older, in authority. and he / she looks up to you.
The same goes for you and your parents, but you know full well that they have a couple or several decades more experience than you do. Just trust them on this one.
