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?

Friends? Family? Can you afford renting a room? My advice to young adults who still depend on their parents is to try to get along until you can get on your own feet. Unless it's some type of abuse most arguments can be avoided.

@QueenandCrown Thank you. Honestly it's been hard. It used to be abusive. They stopped the physical violence after I turned 18 because I threatened to call the police. Afterwards, we were fine, but arguments like this bring back emotional pain. I don't want to be impulsive though, so I'll talk to them tomorrow morning.
