How to move across the country by myself?
>22
>got out of the army
>starts university sept. 1st
>university is in new jersey, lives in WA
>looking for cheap apartment and part time work
>will have monthly housing allowance once classes start
>living with parents atm
>will fly to philly and stay with friend as long as needed
the question is, should I fly out now to the east coast? I've been staying at my parents to save money, and now that I'm admitted, I need to take a placement test at the university as well as sort out my living arrangements, meet with an academic advisor to register for classes, etc.
My original plan was to start living at a place right about when classes start so I don't have to dig into my savings (monthly housing allowance starts once I'm attending class) while I look for part time work, but that's just not realistic.
It also doesn't help that I have 0 job experience essentially, being infantry in the army.
Any advice would be truly appreciated with my utmost fucking gratitude, love you all.
