You're a legal adult in Islam long before 18.
You still have responsibilities towards your parents though...
Original poster: Well, if your school's not far from home, then why dorm? Isn't it usually cheaper to stay at home?
You're saying things aren't bad at home, but you want freedom. Freedom to do the things your parents think you might do if you live alone?
Anyway, I don't think it's a bad thing to live alone or dorm, but usually dorms aren't the greatest places to live. If you still want to though, then try finding a Muslim roommate to appease your parents. And if you really can't, then try convincing your parents that a non-Muslim roommate isn't the worst thing ever. I don't really see the big deal about what religion the roommate is, but if it matters to them, then don't fight with them over it. You don't wanna move out and have them be angry with you.
How about no roomie if you can't find a Muslim one? Would that be better? Or even possible at your school?
And don't move out, if you're gonna cover the costs with student loans. That's just dumb.
