Hello Lostsoul,
Welcome to Psoriasisclub.
Indeed a nasty situation. Following college is possible in your new location?
Can you explain a little bit more on your situation?
How serious/worse is your psoriasis?
Apparently you are quite young to already have psoriasis (hear me saying it... )
The pills Jim suggests might be a good way to go if you are already on the point that your psoriasis is intolerable.
About the light therapy. It works, but has the big drawback that if you stop... and you will have to stop otherwise your skin will become to damaged from the UV radiation, so if you stop Psoriasis will inevitably come back. That holds for all treatments, there is no treatment that will have it go away forever.
Jim's suggestion points to a type of pill that is quite harmless for you body and has a high success rate. Maybe your dermatologist might want to set you on something else, then it is probably good for you not to accept that. Lots of treatments really cause harm in your body and you still have a long way to go.
Have a good time over here, there is always someone available to have a chat with you.
