This still beats homlessness. Grats on your new found homelessness because you couldn't put up with what most 18 year olds have to put up with.
I had to put up with it until i explained that i am a man, i need to go out, i needed to do my own things and i shouldn't be made to feel guilty if i do so. If you burnt your bridges then you are a silly young man.

You are having such a teen strop it's silly.
Grow up and GO HOME!
Rather than running away from an issue talk to your mum about it. Say you do not want to go home every weekend. Just once a month.
As for being made to feel guilty when you don't go home on time
. I live at home, i'm 24, my mum still gives me grief and most the time i'm late is because i have a demanding job! Move out of home and get a girlfriend and you'll notice they do the exact same thing when you go out with your mates, get carried away turn up late and a bit siber. HOWEVER if it was you in the same position you'd fine yourself moaning if you are left waiting for someone. So see it from her point of view.
As or your little brothers missing you? Were you not their age once? Can't you be a nice older brother? Surely they must miss you when you're at uni. It's not a big deal.
I've got to say you really need some perspective in your life. Stop acting like a fool. There are plenty of 18yr olds at uni who hav it much worse than you do.
Be grateful for what you have. i had mates whose parents could not even be bothered to drop them to uni or pick them up, they had to shift all the stuff themselves.
You want to grow up...it starts at home.
EDIT:
if you are a complete idiot and need a place to stay.
Search for hostels - tell them you want a long term deal (2months etc)
You should be able to get about £60-70 a week.
Also WHERE ARE YOU USING THE NET?

To be fair, most 18 yr olds aren't forced back from Uni every weekend by their Mums. Sounds like she has some issues with letting her children go really, but talking about it is a better solution than spitting the dummy out and leaving home.
The big wide world with no home, no job and £190. Well done
Depends on how far away the uni was from home. I would have just stuck it out until i was in a better position, not leave myself homeless. I reckon a compromise could have met, all i imagine is the OP waving his hands around crying like a baby shouting i hate you at the parents, if the OP spoke to his parents like an adult i bet an agreement could have been made.

Yes it is, you are cutting your nose to spite your face, you have put yourself in a bad situation, all you had to do is wait another 2 months when uni restarted and when mummy demanded that you come home say no and explain that you will visit once a month because its too expensive or you need to do course work etc. Running away from your issues only makes things worse and this is a prime example.
You've aksed for advice and you've been givien it. Just go home and apologise and TALK THINGS THROUGH.

bedfordshire uni does
Most these days. University is like one big 18-30 holiday camp with education thrown in.
You've just finished your first year of uni and now's the time you decided you wanted to be free? Get a grip and go and live at home for a few months until you get your own house and therefore "freedom"?
Growing up in this case would be going home.

swallow pride and go home until you get a good job which can sustain you while you live away from parents or you wont be posting here soon unless you got a wifi laptop
I was wondering the very same thing myself.
I dont want to hear what im hearing, i know what im going to do, just want to make sure im not missing anything! get job, get place to stay, i think thats more than grown up if i can do it on my own, i bet you lot all gots daddy to pay for a lot of things havent you! me never! everything i have i paid for with hard graft and determination so dont you all be telling me im pathetic and not grown up

making yourself homeless because you are stubborn? that is a little immature IMO
Just think again - this is how quite a few kids find themselves living on the streets. Having a beef with controlling parents might seem like a big deal now, but in reality its very very common and you should just suck it up until you have better options. The mature thing to do is to make a logical decision, and the logical decision here is go home and prepare yourself better before leaving again.
