Answer 1 :
Yes and No. No one will rent an apartment to you because you are not legally capable of signing a contract. Also you have no credit. Your parents are going to rent the apartment for you. Because they can be held liable for the contract and you would pay with your finicial aid.
Answer 2 :
It depends. When I moved to San Francisco for school, I lived in a house where I just paid the rent to the girl who's mom leased it. I didn't sign a thing and my name was never on the lease. If you can find a place like that your age wouldn't be a problem. For a lease, your parents would have to sign for you. Good luck!
Answer 3 :
At 17 years old, you're still consider a minor and if anything happens, it will be hard for them to sue you or take you to court. You may want to have a co signer with a good credit until you're 18 years old.

My best friend akshara came back from college in california addicted to meth. What do I do

My best friend akshara came back from college in california addicted to meth. What do I do?
My best friend of 15 years was always an innocent, god-fearing, quiet girl. Recently, she has come back from college in a big city in california doing drugs, having sex, and drinking! She told me she "dabbles" in meth. What do I do to restore my best friends faith in goodness? Her teeth (which were never quite perfect anyway) are rotting as well. She used to be the homecoming queen of our high school! Now she's being kicked out of home.

Answer 1 :
it seems like shes not the friend she used to be, and honestly, you cant really get her back to how she was before, but as a friend, just be by her side, and help her discover whats right and wrong :)
Answer 2 :
Look the other way..
Answer 3 :
You can't do anything to change her alone. Try to spend a lot of time with her out at parks, coffee shops, and other public places. She probably won't do anything while you're around. This may HELP stop her addictions but nothing but rehab will be able to STOP them.
Answer 4 :
1st thing, don't judge her. That will push her away. Stay on point with the things that keeps you friends & address her as an equal when you talk about the bad habits. Try to love her still regardless. You have no control over her actions. Do this and if she falls, she will know who to turn to. as far as the meth show her the faces of meth website Just having read you additional details. She doesn't just dabble. Shes gonna fall hard. Beware. Don't loan her money. Don't let her stay with you unless she is clean. Ppl don't think straight on that cr!@p
Answer 5 :
You can help her by telling some one. She need help fast or you become like her if you keep being friends with her and do nothing. you need to save her from her self. you'er a good friend
Answer 6 :
She is a gud friend to u thats y she told u about her itself, it means she as remains some good qualities in her.If really u r a best & real friend to her treat her as a mentally retarted child. Tell to her clearly about the disadvantages of methand try to make him as a good person, if not live her
Answer 7 :
Your poor friend is going through some change. You my friend must just accept it P.S IS SHE FROM uc Berkeley ? i heard some stuff is going on down there i have a friend who us going there this fall..... should i be concerned?
Answer 8 :
talk to her about how you feel. show her what will happen to her if she continues. and show her what has already happened to her from using. or you can sign her up for rehab. in the end she will thank you because you'd be saving her life. it's such a shame to see these young people waste there lives on garbage! they could've had a great future, but they don't think before they do something so they throw there lives away because they figure it's pointless! you only live once!!!

What is the best college in California for me

What is the best college in California for me?
I live in the bay area and cant decide on what college I want to go to. Im a senior and have a 4.16 GPA. I want to go to either a UC or CSU in California. I love being in nature and beaches. I want to go into enviormental studies. And I want to live on campus or a little studio appartment near by. And are there any colleges that offer camping for students? Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated :)

Answer 1 :
Your GPA seems low for a weighted GPA. I would look into UC - Irvine, Santa Barbra, Davis.
Answer 2 :
Santa Barbara is right on the beach and you would enjoy it. By the way, do not major in environmental studies. It is good to major in something that will help our environmental problems but anything that ends in the word studies will just tell you what the problems are and not how to solve them. Try an environmental science type of major.
