It is a highly debated issue whether it is better for university students to live far away
from home than to live at home with their parents. There are pros and cons of both
approaches. It is necessary to look at both sides of the argument before forming an
opinion.
There are definite benefits of staying at home. To begin with it is much more
economical to stay at home than to stay near the university. If you choose to stay at
the university then you either stay at the university dormitory or rent your own
apartment. Both university options are more expensive as compared to home. Then
you have to do your own cooking and cleaning which is not the case if you stay at
home where your mother looks after all these things. You do spend some time
commuting to and from the university but then you save your time on cooking and
cleaning. The disadvantage of staying at home is that you may be disturbed by siblings
and you have to help in household chores.
There are many advantages of staying near the university. University education is a
time for you to mix with people of different backgrounds and cultures. This cultural
exchange usually occurs after class hours. If you have to return home then you miss
out on this golden opportunity. Secondly, there are good study facilities such as
library, computer lab etc. if you are on or near the campus. You also get to experience
some independence. The downside is that it is expensive and to cut the cost you may
have to share your apartment with someone you don’t like.
In my opinion, it is definitely worthwhile to live at the university than with your
parents even if you have to shell out some extra money for that because it is a golden
opportunity to interact with people of different parts of the world and you get to
enjoy the benefits of facilities like the library and sports stadiums and gyms.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that there are benefits and drawbacks of
both approaches and the decision is purely subjective. However, in my opinion staying
near the university is better.
