College Student Blog - How to Rebuild Independence While Living at Home

Living at home again doesn’t mean your independence disappears — but it does need to be redefined.

Ways to Preserve Independence

• Keep your own routines

• Maintain friendships

• Set work/study boundaries

• Contribute to the household in agreed ways

• Balance connection with autonomy

What Often Causes Conflict

• Unspoken expectations

• Different energy levels

• Different schedules

• Different definitions of “responsible.”

Clarity reduces conflict.
