College life accommodation choice

Nowadays, in college life, accommodation becomes a problem that we need to solve.

As adults, college students are responsible individuals capable of sensible and

independent judgments and decisions. Living on or off campus is really a matter of

personal choice and different students can make their decisions that best accord with

their individual needs. Living in the bedroom and living outside the school are a good

choice, but the choice depends on their choice of interpersonal relationships, rest

environment, and personal privacy

Living in the dormitory than living in the apartment have a better interpersonal

relationship. In my opinion, live in dormitory do not often go to the public area, so the

public area is often no one to clean, and physical illnesses can cause environmental

problems, so it is a negative thing to live in an apartment. The second negative thing is

that Everyone has their own private room, so there is no more time together, for example,

when I first came to the United States, I lived in The Beacon, and my roommate's

curriculum did not have the same time with me, so it was hard for us to have the

opportunity to come together. This is one of the reasons why I do not have much

communication with roommates. I have already described several of the disadvantages

of living in the apartment before.

 Now I will introduce the benefits of living in the dormitory. Living in the dormitory

everything is public, everyone must use it, will not deliberately destroy it. once

destroyed some things, then that person needs compensation. So, we are very cherish

the public facilities. The second positive thing of live in dormitory is that the room is

small and has more time to communicate and discuss, according to College Dorm vs.

Apartment Costs article Some schools provide dorm activities designed to engage

students in social situations. Dorm or floor meetings, parties and informal study groups

increase networking opportunities and broaden social circles. Also, some dorms may

be coed, increasing opportunities for developing friendships or dating relationships.

Everyone lives under the same roof, there is no room for the barrier, so every day to

meet, even if the curriculum is different. So, we have more time to chat and eat together,

over time, everyone's relationship will become better. Living in the apartment has

advantages and disadvantages, so let us look at the disadvantages of living in the

apartment.

Living in an apartment is better than living in a dormitory, because living in an

apartment, everyone has their own space, not affected by other factors, such as when

you need to do a lot of homework to complete, if the dormitory Very noisy, then you

cannot enter the study, and reduce the good learning efficiency and memory. Second,

when you have some privacy do not want others to know when living in the apartment

can be very good to hide their privacy. According to Dorm vs. apartment: Which should

you choose? Article its nearly impossible to have any privacy in a dorm, unless you

spend a generous amount of money to live in a private room. Apartments provide much
more privacy. Even if you choose a 'shared' apartment arrangement, which are

popular at communities near college campuses, you will typically have a private

bedroom and bathroom. So I think it is more comfortable living in the apartment, and

have everyone's privacy. However, living in a dormitory, you cannot stop your

roommate, because your roommate can always hear or see your privacy. Now, we have

talked about living in the apartment and live in the dormitory in the privacy of the

shortcomings and a little bit, then we will talk about the most important point, this is

the rest of the environment.

In college life, there is a good living environment to rest is the most important, if not

a good rest environment, is likely to affect their academic and physical. In my opinion,

People living in the apartment have a better rest than those who live in the dormitory,

because of Living in an apartment, everyone lives in a room, do not interfere with each

other, the bedroom to the living room has two doors, if a party in the apartment, the

bedroom people will not be disturbed. But living in the apartment is not so quiet, there

is no good rest environment, roommate issued a little voice will disturb you, if you do

homework at the party, you will not be able to complete the homework. So the home

needs to have a good resting environment, quiet is the best of an environment. In the

rest of the environment this area, I think compared to living in an apartment and living

in a dormitory, living in an apartment is a good choice.

In conclusion, we have already talked about three questions about living in

apartments and living in dorms, relationships, personal privacy and resting

environments. Of course, the difference is more than that, we have to think about their
own accommodation problems and habits to choose a suitable place to live. So I feel

that living in an apartment and living in a dormitory has both advantages and

disadvantages, so the choice between the two is very difficult, but you can make a

choice on the side you need, such as you prefer a quiet rest Environment, then you can

choose to live in an apartment. But the relationship between roommates you need to

adjust, of course, you can organize more activities to increase the feelings of each other.

If you need to be there is a relationship between you and you can choose to live in a

dormitory. But you do not have a good learning environment, of course, you can choose

to go to the library to learn, the harm we can improve. But the final choice is your own.
