So I'm heading to college in a few months with almost no

>>18460190
Wow I just read that and its a cluster fuck. I'm mainly asking about what living in a car is like and what I need to consider ahead of time.

people are going to be fairly judgemental and your relationships with people in college can affect the course of your life. wear a normal quantity of different clothes and keep them and yourself very clean.

>>18460201
Ah yeah, I'll definitely keep as clean as possible I don't want to let people know I'm homeless, especially since I'll be teaching while I'm taking classes.

Also if people do realize, its a very hippie town so I don't think they will judge that much. Hell there's a guy working there now who, while getting his masters, was homeless too and people knew about it.

Yeah remember laundry is a thing. Where are you going to do that?

Also you're gonna wanna keep your car clean 100% of the time. Living in cramped quarters means you can't ever leave a dish or single mcdonalds bag of trash laying around saying "I'll do it tomorrow".

For what it's worth though, a car space is about the same amount of space my college gave us in terms of dorms lol.

How are you going to college with no money?

>>18460216
There are local laundry mats every where in this town. I can afford the 5$ to do a full load.

Also I'm not too worried about the space, Its not huge but it's big enough for me to lay fully stretched. It will be cramped with a little bit of food/ my clothes in there too.

>For what it's worth though, a car space is about the same amount of space my college gave us in terms of dorms lol.

that sucks, its kind of like this here too, and the rent is 600-1200$ for the cheap stuff (depending on how many rooms you want).

>>18460190
why not just rent a room in someones 4 bedroom house, if it isn't somewhere like the middle of los angeles or new york city you can get them for $500 per month which is like 13 hours of work per week

>>18460218
I'm going to get a masters in statistics. Part of the masters package is that they waive my tuition and give me a job paying 15,000$~ a year. In return I teach two lower level math classes each semester.

>>18460232
So you're just living the hobo life for shits and grins then. You don't actually have to.

>>18460227
Because I really fucked up with my student loans and didn't say
>Hey I'm going onto a masters program! keep those loans in defferment please.
Because of this I'm going to have to pay those off at the same time. My college also has a strict "no working anywhere else but here"policy towards its graduate students. And thus I can't afford much else. I know it's my fault but I'm actually ok with the idea of living in my car, it will only be to sleep mainly.

But back to the topic, anything else I'll need to consider?

>>18460239

You could still ask them to do that with your loans, it's not a one-time deal, you can have those adjusted for reasons like... that you're going to school to get your Master's.

>>18460251
I understand and I tried. I'm currently on a 9 month payment to get it out of default. However after this my debt will go to another company. Because of this movement of debt the current company that holds my debt was unable to say if I can go back into deferment or not, it will be up to the company that my debt gets move to. On top of this they said they don't know yet which company will claim my debt. Because of all this I don't know if I can go back into deferment for another 6 months and thus I want to plan for the worst case scenario.

If dont get deferment, then I keep living as I have been.

If I do get deferment great, I gained an appreciation of what homeless people have to live through and I saved some money.

>>18460262
holy shit they are royally fucking your ass
stay strong dude
love your attitude at this

>>18460288
I'm just seeing it as a chance to try something new out. No need to get very negative if you can't change it. But I also realize that living in your car can also be alot more than I would first think which is why I made this thread. My main fear is that I snore and could I get kicked out of the parking garage (even though i have a parking permit) because of this? I don't know anywhere in town/ near town that lets me park my car for free/cheaply over night.

the guy's doing a masters in stats and can't even manage a fucking budget?

sounds perfect for gubbermint.

>>18460393
Thanks for the advice, got anymore?

>>18460393
Also no gubbermint for me, I want to do actuarial stuff.

>>18460239
try tutoring people privately on the side, you'll get paid under the table and your department doesn't need to know

>>18460466
Good idea but I doubt I could do it enough to afford rent of any kind. I'll have to be studying for actuarial exams on my own time so I wont have too much free time for other activities.
