DORMS AND HOMES

     In the recent years, the number of the students at university has increased. Most university students come from another city or country. Normally, this situation causes an accommodation problem for these students. There are two groups at this point. While, the first group chooses to stay at college, in dorms ; the second group chooses to live at home. Certainly, there are some similarities between a home and dorm, but, in my opinion differences are a lot more.

     The first group prefers to stay at the dormitory for financial situation, friendship and transportation conditions. First of all, a student chooses to stay at the dormitory because of the financial situation of his family. He may have to stay college because he doesn’t want to cost more money for his family. When it is compared with a home, an average dormitory is much more economical. In addition to financial conditions, the student may prefer to live at college because of his friends. He may think that staying with his friends is more enjoyable and flexible. He can do his homework with his friends and they may hang around together. Finally, the student chooses to stay at college because of the transportation. Staying at college means that you can arrive your class more quickly. There isn’t much traffic jam at the campus, so you don’t have to get up very early to catch the lessons.

     The second group chooses to live at home and they have also the same reasons. But these reasons are the reversed versions of the first group’s. First of all, if a student wants to live in a more quiet and clear place, he has to stay at a private dorm because in ordinary dorms, conditions are bad. Normally, it means lots of money. So the student may think that both of them cost much but home is more reasonable in many aspects such as individuality, cleaning and freedom. Moreover, you may spend enjoyable time with your friends, but, on the other hand, staying with your friends brings some limitation for your private life. Home is more individual place when it is compared with a dorm. You can eat whatever you want, you can sleep whenever you want, you can watch or listen whichever channel you want. However, in public places like dorms, you can not behave so freely. In addition, a student may prefer home because he or she wants to stay away from the school life. Certainly, it is harder in respect of transportation. You don’t have to hurry up to catch the lessons at college. Conversely, you have to do it if you stay at home. But still, staying at home means that you don’t have to see the same people and the same places constantly and it makes you relax. Finally, the student prefers to live at home because he or she may be bored with staying in a dorm. For instance, I studied in a boarding-school in high school, so I don’t want to live at dorm, anymore. After a while, a person wants to live alone, cook his or her own meal, take shower in his or her own bath and sleep in his or her own bed.

     To sum up, according to their needs and wishes, preferences of the students differ from each other’s. We can see two different groups of the students: living at home and living at college. There may be some common thread to all this, but differences are much more as I mentioned above. I would like to live at home, but, when I compare home with a dorm in all these aspects, I think that I should live at college.
