Well... there are two main reasons: - economic - family
For starters, it's not like we have all that much money to go live abroad... In my case, it would be stupid to be living in a place of my own seeing how my college is in my city... so why would I want to pay extra? O___o There are students from other cities, but they are a minority. ALSO: Fun fact, my school doesn't have dorms, and it's the biggest university in the northeast of the country.
I've seriously never gotten WHY Americans have to move away from their place to study. It's alomst as if you were running away from your family. Which brings me to the other reason of why you even have post-graduate people living with their parents: Mexican families are actually pretty tightly-woven. Mine isn't, but it's not uncommon to see families where the grandparents live with the family, or at least get together for dinner on Sundays.
