Answer #1

You mean you and your girlfriend are going to live together at your parents’ house? Yeah, it’s a bad idea. Go rent an apartment. Do you really want to live off your parents’ money using your studentship status as an excuse? Find some way to make it work. Find a job, get a loan. It’s gonna be tough, but it’s life.

Answer #2

rent your own apartment. parents feel invaded if you bring your girlfriend to live with your family. especially if you have siblings- they feel like they have no place to relax. but if your gf and you have been together for a while and your family knows her well enough maybe they’ll be comfortable. but i doubt it. im sure your girlfriend doesn’t want to live with you in her or your house if you want to move in together it normally means living together ALONE. not mooching off of your parents. so if you have credit, a co signer, money and all that good stuff go for it. it’ll be hard but eventually your gonna have to move out. so why not start now?
