But if i'm 22 and just graduated college so it's time to move out of my moms house... don't I need to buy a house anyway? I wouldn't imagine that renting right now is better than buying a house

Don't feel like you have to buy right now. Chr*st, you are 22 years old. Try not to make all your decisions based on math. Although renting right now may be viewed as -EV, you may find it a good learning experience to prep you for owning your own home. When in doubt about such a huge decision, it's probably best to take the safe route and rent until things become more clear. Just my opinion.
