<prompt> Human: So Im 18, freshly graduated from high school, and Im debating whether or not to move out of the house. My parents insist on making me take the loans out for all of my college tuition and fees. I had a full ride to my dream school where it would be cheaper for me to go, but they put me in the local, more expensive university where i didnt want to go without my consent. Ive taken out loans for the tuition of the local university and I dont need to pay for housing, as Im registered as a commuter. They also want me to buy my own car to commute to campus. My question is this: given my disagreements with my family along with my current loans, would buying a car and having an apartment be financially sound? I have 2400 in the bank and make 10 an hour in my part time job. I found a decent Subaru its snowy where I live for 1500. Another option I have is buying a van and living out of that, which would be undoubtedly cheaper, but legality and the thorny issue of being basically homeless exists. Which option is more financially smart?EDIT: Ive contacted my dream school and they wont let me have the full ride anymore because Im no longer a freshman applicant, Ive been enrolled in another university.  <response>: I think you should contact your dream school and ask if you can still get that full ride education.
