关于“大学住宿的利与弊”英语作文400字左右

It's the question that every college student must answer: should you
live on-campus or off-campus? Both options have their advantages and
disadvantages, so it is crucial for you to weigh your choices before you
make a final decision. To help you choose between the two, here are
some pros and cons of living on-campus and off-campus.

On-Campus

Pros

Accessibility to the school. If you live on-campus,
you can easily walk to classes, libraries, computer labs, cafeterias,
etc. You don't have to waste time and money on driving to school,
finding a parking space, and so forth.

Increased social life. Living on-campus will allow you to meet more people and establish more friendships than
if you live off-campus. Living in a dorm means that there will always
be someone around to hang out with. You will also usually be aware of
any campus activities and how to be involved in them.

Simplicity. If you live on-campus, you don't have to
worry about monthly rent payments, utility bills, and grocery shopping.
Most students who live in a dorm get a meal plan in order to make eating
easy and convenient. (Although, you will probably still want to dine in your dorm room from time to time.)

Cons

Little privacy. When living in a dorm, it can be very
hard to find privacy. You have to share bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. The
close living quarters mean that you may never have quiet time in your
dorm because there will always be something going on.

Limited space. At most colleges, the dorm rooms are
tiny. You have to limit what you bring to school, or your space will be
too crowded. Check out these tips to best utilize your space when living in a dorm room.

Possible low GPA. Because dorm life is very social,
your grades may be affected in a negative way. If you constantly choose
hanging out with your dorm buddies over studying at the library, then
your GPA will suffer.

Off-Campus

Pros

Independence. You will not have to follow as many
rules if you live off-campus. Residence halls have several rules that
students must abide by when living on-campus. (These rules are usually
designed for the overall protection and safety of the residents). Living
off-campus will give you freedom from those rules and allow you to set
your own.

Privacy. Living off-campus means that you will more
than likely have your own bedroom so you can have a place to sneak off
and have time alone away from your roommates. The extra space also means
that you can probably find a quiet place to study in the convenience of your own home.

Sense of responsibility. Living off-campus will help
you be more responsible. If you live off-campus, you will be in charge
of paying bills, cleaning house, grocery shopping, and cooking. Being
responsible is a good quality to possess (in case you consider this one a
con).

Cons

More expensive. Often, off-campus housing is more
expensive than on-campus housing. Utilities and cable can be an added
monthly expense, and you may have to pay for your own Internet access.

Transportation. When living off-campus, it may not be
convenient for you to walk to campus so you would have to find
transportation. Whether you drive your car or use a form of public
transportation, it is still going to cost you money. Traffic can also be
an issue if you live in a crowded area.

Isolation. If you live off-campus, you may not be as
involved with campus activities as you would if you lived on-campus.
This could cause you to feel a sense of detachment with your college and
cause you to not make as many friends.

When deciding whether to live on-campus or off-campus, think about what
is important to you. You may even want to put together a list of your
own pros and cons. Keep in mind that some colleges do not let first-year
students live in an off-campus apartment; you would either have to live
in a residence hall or at home with your family. Check with your chosen
school for regulations.
