Hmm I'm not sure quite what you mean by what to look out for. The most basic of DSL packages will run world of warcraft quite easily, but if you plan to do a lot of other connection intensive stuff you should probably go with something stronger. Example: we have the cheapest DSL available here ($30 mo.) and I can play wow relatively lag free while my room mates talk on skype (non-video feed) and stream netflix. For you by yourself or yourself and one friend a cheap plan will be fine. You can always upgrade usually at any time if it doesn't work out too well.
AND: ALWAYS ALWAYS always make sure you purchase a router and are not "renting" one from the company. You will pay for that router several times over in rental fees if you are not careful and they are basically stealing your money at that point.

Hmm... as for what to look out for. Your parents are hoping you are responsible enough to care for a place on your own and take care of it as well as yourself. Some people are already very independent and responsible when they move out but many are not. It is probably a good idea if you want to impress that you can maintain sanitary living conditions and avoid damaging the house in any way. Dishes also should be done regularly either at the conclusion of the day or every 2~3 days being easier to clean the fresher the mess is. Laundry is a big one too many people never learn how to do this until they move out. Just be ready for when you wash something improperly it will change color often and/or shrink up a bit >_>;

Moving out can often be lonely at first so it's good to keep in touch with family and friends especially over the phone. Having company over is very nice, but at the end of the day you are left with the mess to clean up when they go home so keep that in mind and limit yourself to how much you can handle at a time. Also be wary as many friends will unofficially move into your new place and stay as long as they can eating your food creates messes until they've long overstayed their welcome.

Monetarily...hmm...: Be extra careful with spending until you have a good trend for how much utilities cost, it never hurts to have a surplus. Always always pay rent on time... you may eventually not be renting from your parents and many land lords have late fees for late rent and it's best to learn to be punctual right away.

You need to change your address right away and notify anyone who sends you mail (especially companies you are being billed by) of your new address.

Oh first time moving out there are a lot of purchases you will need to make. Such as dishes, appliances, furniture, etc. If you foresee yourself changing residence several more times within a short period best to try and keep your possessions simple and light. Less stuff means less stuff to pack up next time a move is required. Also less stuff makes you more adaptable in being able to live comfortably in a variety of living quarters of all shapes and sizes. If you have room mates they also will often intentionally and unintentionally take your stuff so traveling light means less stuff to replace when things disappear.

Know what is expected of you from a grounds keeping perspective. Do your parents care for the yard? Or will you be required to maintain trees, flower gardens, lawn? Also good to know what kind of parking situation the place has. Some cities own the curbsides and require parking passes.

Ugh... wasn't sure what exactly you wanted if you throw out some more specifics might be able to provide some advice.

The house is fully furnitured, I dont mind taking care of the garden(only about 5x7m), parents & friends live quite close and I'll probably end up using paper dishes just because I'm too lazy to clean up if it can be avoided

What *I* had to think of (Norway):

1) Furniture that might be missing (u cant really take theirs :P)
2) Kitchen stuff, knifes, boards, cups, plates, frying pans etc etc
3) Washing machine (clothing, not dishes, cos FUCK DISHES)
4) Internet Connection and TV (i got through one same company)
5) Electrisity (rent of the line + kWh payment plan)
6) Freezer (buy shit cheap, put in the freezer)


You might need to think of things like TV, decoders, what have you.

RØDE PØLSER!

what you gotta pay for:

rent
telephone/internet
