Dormitory Life
For most university students, dormitory life is a new experience. Most students
have never lived far away from their parents before coming to university. They have
always had their parents to depend on for advice and guidance, and when they become
university students, their lives begin to change.
There are striking difference between home life and dormitory life. Students
must begin to be responsible for their own action. They must depend on themselves
to get up in the morning on time for class, to eat properly, to keep their clothes
and themselves clean, and to set aside an appropriate amount of time for study and
relaxation. They must also learn to take care of their money, making sure to preserve
enough for both necessities and for fun.
In general, there are both good and bad points about life in students’ dormitory.
Often, dormitory rooms are small and crowded. This lack of space can limit one’
s privacy and make it difficult for students to concentrate on their studies. On
the other hand, in a dormitory, students have a great deal more freedom than they
might have at home. They can act according to their own will and desire than to that
of parents.
