Moving Out! A Young Adult's Guide to Living on Your Own is a practical and philosophical book on how youth can look for apartments, find movers and roommates, budget, stand up for their tenant rights, effectively overcomehomesickness, develop good health and social habits, respect the environment, and live with all the cultures of the world in one of our great Canadian cities.

Formatted as a quick-read resource, one of the book's greatest values is its collection of first-hand accounts from a variety of young Canadians who moved out on their own, either into college/university residence or in apartments, and deftly highlights their challenges and joys.
