How do I convince my parents to let me live in res?

My parents want me to stay home for uni cuz the uni I'm going to is an hour away and my dad works in the city and commutes there every morning. It'll be a lot cheaper than living in res, but I really want the res experience, especially in my first year. What are your thoughts? I'll be attending U of Toronto (St. George) in the fall.How do I convince my parents to let me live in res?
If money is not the issue, then, I would reccommend a campus tour with your parents. Make and appointment to speak with the resident hall director.





If money is an issue, stay at home for the first year, take loans out to pay for resident hall the second year. Then apply for an RA (resident advisor) position. You will receive free room and board as an RA. The second option is what I did. Living in the dorms was the best expereince of my life. I still have freinds from then, and I met my husband of 25 years there.How do I convince my parents to let me live in res?

Depends on who is paying for your education? If they are, then stay at home for the first year, then decide about res the second year.
