Kylie Jenner's Mansion vs. Real Girls' Dorms
By now we all know that Kylie Jenner isn't a typical American teenager; she's been working since she made her TV debut at the age of 10 on the hit reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, she has endorsement deals with the likes of Steve Madden, and her business ventures include her own hair extension line, Kylie Hair Kouture. With so much success so early, it's easy to forget that the youngest Kardashian-Jenner sibling is only 18 years old. So how does Kylie's life in the glam $2.7 million Calabasas mansion she purchased last February compare with the life of a typical 18-year-old? Keep reading to find out.

Kylie's Move-In Day
Bare but for a mattress on move-in day, Kylie's house was still pretty.

Like most stylish gals her age, Kylie rarely misses an opportunity to take an outfit selfie in the mirror before walking out the door.

Kylie's Master Sitting Area
Kylie was excited to watch I Am Cait from the comfort of her master bedroom's private sitting area.

Sure, lots of other 18-year-olds have a "master sitting area," too. It's called their bed.
Kylie's Closet
An open-shelved walk-in closet packed with designer shoes is the thing of most women's fantasies.

But a shared hanging rack is most women's reality.
Kylie's Living Room
For romantic lighting, Kylie turns to the gentle flickering of a fire and the glow of her chandelier reflected in the mirror.

In most first apartments, mood lighting is created with strands of Christmas lights and scattered candles.

A luxe pool and loungers overlooking the SoCal mountains isn't bad.

But neither is a dorm that backs up onto the quad.
