Yep. The only thing I would say is live alone - not just to learn to take care of yourself, but to look around and say "this is MY couch. MY apartment. Arranged MY way. I chose it, all on my own, and no one else did." That's a feeling that you don't get if you go from parents to college housing to marriage.
