I'm moving out!

[Hax]

After spending eighteen and a half years with my parents, I'm going to move out of house and into an apartment in the city of Leiden, to fully concentrate on studying and stuff! In essence, I'm moving into a two-room apartment with a friend of mine, who'll be taking the upper floor, while I take the lower floor. 20 square metres for the both of us, including a small kitchen and bathroom.

So, you guys got any advice on how to survive in the big city, without mommy or daddy being able to help out when you're in trouble?

Oh, by the way, I'm going to study Arabic culture and language. Don't think that's too much of a surprise for people around here.

I live in NYC without my parents

big enough?

i live in a university dorm though

[Hax]

i live in a university dorm though

Ah yes, that's the difference. While there are some dorms around here, usually students are forced to rent an apartment, because most universities are located within the cities themselves, especially the older ones that were founded in the Medieval or Renaissance period.

I still live in NYC........ the middle of NYC.


Some kids usually older ones have apartments off campus.

Edit: Not only that but as so happens my long established university is located in the middle of a relatively bad area of the city.

Isn't Leiden were all the foreign immigrant workers in the bulb factories go to buy their weed?

[Centurion1]

[Rhyfelwyr]

Because it was a bluff to test your reaction. Thank you for the critical info.

EDIT: You recently admitted your athletic ability is how you got to pay where you are, which is another big clue as well.

not hard enough or you wouldn't think I was an NCAA athlete.

[a completely inoffensive name]

Never thought you were an NCAA athlete, just know that you got some sort of scholarship that wasn't scholastic based.

If a scholarship is for something that requires physical abilities you have to presume it's for Athletics, no? And I don't think that club and intramural sports offer scholarship........

Two options:

A) You are lying to me to get me off the right trail.
B) Your physical abilities are being put to use heavily for a job which help pays for your uni tuition.

lol, neither.

This makes no sense. You work out because attending uni depends on it. But you don't play sports for them, nor do you pay for uni with a job that demands physical labor. Hmmmmm

I thought about the military man but forgive my ignorance but doesn't the military pay for your uni after you serve, not before it? I got a friend who is planning on joining the marines but is taking community college before enlisting and as far I know, if there was a deal where he could get the military to pay for it he would have done it.
