Living in university housing vs living in the community Accommodation is one of the basic needs of today's society It is not only restricted to the students living abroad but it also concerns to those people who either live in a renting house or paying for room in hotels Living in dormitories or campus or finding an apartment depends upon the student's choice Students and other peoples like workers, employers, businessman, etc will always look for such apartments which will benefit them or which may suit to their desires A student living on campus or dormitories will have their reasons and the others would prefer to live in apartments based on their purposes However, if we consider both, we can include the following points: 1) A student living in an apartment may seem to hold this view that he can share his room with other people which would reduce a great burden on paying off a huge amount of rent for it While living in a dormitory one cannot have this type of advantage On the other hand, who prefers to live in a dormitory may hold his view that one does not have to worry on getting up early and to rush for a bus or any other means of transport to attend one's class 2) The strong view presented by a student living in an apartment is that he does not have to abide by the rules which is the main terms and regulations for a student living in a dormitory Whereas, a student choose to live in a dormitory may strongly condemn this view that only they have to follow the rules of an institution or a university They express their view stating that a student living in an apartment also has to follow the rules of maintaining the room properly, for example, to clean the room and make it neat and tidy, wash the bathroom properly and to furniture his room etc 3)A student in a dormitory hold this view that everything has been provided to them All the facilities are provided in a university or another institution while living in an apartment one may not gain this advantage On the contrary, a student living in an apartment hold this view that a dormitory student is restricted to certain things such as they are not allowed to go out of the university only at the given times or if there is any emergency case While living in an apartment will not cause one such problems, one is free of time restriction In my view, I prefer living in an apartment because I will held my opinion that if I not have enough money to afford a living in dormitory then certainly I would have to take a loan or any other means to pay for living whereas in an apartment you can share your rent with other people which may not burden your cost of living in it Every thing has its advantage and disadvantage but it is on a student of how he considers and make use of it Every one wants to get benefit while living in an apartment or elsewhere and it is quite natural
