Personal

The first step for a college student to develop a sense of his or her own identity is moving out of their parents' house and into a residence of their own. Living on their own helps them to establish their independence and is associated with other adult developments.
Now that these young adults are out on their own, they can grow as a person and become more mature and take responsibility for their decisions. They know that they do not have their parents watching over them all the time anymore, so it is their job to keep themselves on track. These young adults have to make sure they get up in the morning, are on time for class, get their homework done, clean up after themselves, and define the line between work time and play time.
