17, it was either the Army or go with a full ride scholarship, I chose the latter. Scholarship was tuition/books only, so I worked part time to pay for room and board. Lived on campus the first year, then different apartments with roommates after that. Haven't been back home to live since then, but that was a long time ago.

I did this in the 2000s, it's hard but possible. Lots of roommates in shitty, shitty apartments. The freedoma was incredible.
