Compare And Contrast Living At Home And In The Dormitory[#`1]

　　　There are a lot of differences between living at home and in the dorm. Living at home is more convenient and private than living in the dorm. Contrary to live at home, because you don’t live with your parents anymore, living in the dormitory is a good opportunity to train you to be independent as well to learn how to create a good relationship with your roommates. I have lived in the dormitory for almost seven years since I graduate from junior high school. At the very start, I resisted the environment and the atmosphere there, but soon I understood I must accustom to this kind of challenge. The first thing is to form good manners. For instance, if your roommates are used to stay up late, you can politely ask them to talk in undertones and turn off the light just left a table lamp. But if you are at home, you don’t have to do that because you have your own room. Also, you have to keep the public environment clean because you are not in your single room, and you have to respect all your roommates. On the other part, you can chat with your roommates about school life or something, take care of each other. Then you can happily create a good friendship with your roommates. And the last as well the most important one is that you can arrange the time by yourself. It is good but also difficult. Because you will be more independent than you are at home, that is you have much freedom so that you have to control yourself. Not like you are at home, your parents cook for you, buy everyday items for you, take care of you, and show you what is right or what is wrong all the time. Although it is inconvenient and sometimes you will lose your privacy when comparing to live at home, but if living in the dormitory for a period of time, you will realize the advantages different from living at home.
