All you need now is where to shower, and where to potty. Local gym?

Move to a different state?

Would not recommend living in a van, especially as an 18 year old girl...

Yeah but I'm majoring in computer science, I want to be where the tech industry is

I mean, I probably could, but money would be extremely tight. Most craigslists listings here for room shares are $800-$900. I figure I can save a lot more money by living in a van for a few years

If you're alone, you better hope people think you're a creepy old man in a van, and not an 18-y.o. girl. Get a disguise when coming and going to the van.

That seems overkill. The worst things here are drunk homeless people, and they're easy to avoid since I know where the encampments are

Are you going to like UW or one of the other schools in Seattle proper? Might be better to move to like Issaquah or Redmond anyway. Should be cheaper and most of the tech stuff isn't in Seattle proper.

I would highly recommend not living in a van in the U-District then.

Get an internship at Microsoft or something like that and commute.

Or go to the totally better WSU where everything is cheaper tbh. Though I think their CS program is better than ours iirc.

Dear Harpie...

purchase a home, do not rent
swim in equity until you jump to a bigger home
rinse, repeat

soon you'll have a theatre room, and a indoor swimming pool
instead of paper thin walls and stinky neighbors who leave apartment trash by their front door

I am breaking my no posting on CE rule just to tell you I did exactly this. I used to live in the U-District but got priced out and moved to Redmond. A lot of people move out of Seattle and commute in because public transit is free (actually part of your student fees at UW) or discounted at a lot of universities here. Don't live in a van please. People in vans here are often victims of crime. It is not safe at all. This is not a safe area to be homeless, the police are more likely to harass you rather than help you, forcing you to park in really sketchy areas.

No. I want to get away from my dad as fast as possible. He's a raging alcoholic that often beats the shit out of me for no reason other than he's angry

I won't be getting any kind of support. I'm on my own here.

Oh okay, sorry. Well then your best bet is to rent an apartment with a couple of friends so that you can split the rent 3 ways and it won't be that much.
