Compare and contrast living at home and in the dormitory 【# 2】

There are many difference between living at home and in the dormitory. A lot of people living at home with their famiy, but some people should live in the dormitory because of the school wrok. I am one of the students of this population, so I get some idea about the difference between living at home and in the dormitory. The first of all, the family have to pay extra expenses of rents, it is not a small cost if the family's finances is tight. Second, mother will cook three meals for family, but living in the dormitory, you should prepare three meals by yourself. It is very inconvenient and it is also another expense. Third, I have to live with other people in the dormitory, it means you don't have privacy. For example, if you want to have a phone call to your boyfriend, it will be heared to other roomates. As it is a life of group, you should think about other people's lifestyle habits, you can not just consider yourself. On the other hands, there have some advantage of living in the dormitory. For instance, you can go to KTV or play bowling with friends at midnight, unlike at home, you should go home before 12 o'clock, or your parents will blame you. Furthermore, you can make friends with your roomates, if you have some trouble, you can discuss with them; if you feel boring on the weekend, you can go shopping with them. It is a special experience for me, because I didn't live with other people except my family. To sum up, there are many difference between living at home and in the dormitory, it all a matter of personal feeling. Maybe you prefer living with roomates to having a private room, or you like to go shopping yourself. For me, I think living in the dormitory is a chance to train myself to be independent, and it is also an experience of my life.
