Student. Becoming Homeless. Next Step?

So, I'm 23 years old, and got accepted in a PhD program. I was originally going to commute from home. I had been living with my parents. Woke up this morning, got in an argument. Vomited from the stress. Got in another argument, and pretty much been told to pack my stuff and leave. I don't have any money. I'm still waiting to see if my financial aid will even support my tuition. I'm wondering if I should notify the university that I'll be homeless. Any advice?

Some on-campus housing can be paid with financial aid, look into that. Check out some local women shelters, see if you can stay at friend's house (just for a couple weeks to a month while you get back on your feet and have enough money to stay in a hotel/rent an apartment for a month), or stay in an extended stay hotel (we have a few here in San Antonio, comes with a full kitchen).
You may want to go back and try to re-negotiate with your parents to stay for another month to save up money and then move. Apologize, do whatever you can. Or, go try to find a job with your degree.
