Living in University Dormitories or Apartments in the Community

Some university students chooseto live in school dormitories while others choose the apartments outside theircampus. People have different views concerning this issue. In my opinion, itwould be better if they live in dormitories in the first two years and lease ahouse or apartment outside the campus in late two years.

一些大学生选择住在学校宿舍而其他人则选择住在校园外面的公寓。人们对这一问题有不同的看法。在我看来，头两年住在宿舍，后面两年在校园外面租房子会更好。

They can enjoy more advantagesfrom this choice. To begin with, living in dormitories provides moreconveniences for freshmen and sophomores to interact with their classmates getfamiliar to their schools and surroundings and get the newest news. That wouldbe helpful in their adapting to the new life and developing their friendships.Second, they can be more concentrated on their study if they live indormitories. Compared with complex off-campus life, school life which is much morewonderful than ever before is good for students’ concentrating on their study.In addition, in the rest of two years, university students tend to deal withother things instead of academic study only, such as future career planning,pursuing advanced studies and so on. Therefore, leasing a house or apartmentoutside campus is more convenient for them to receive information, get in touchwith realistic society so that they can prepare for their future in advance andfind their positions. At the same time, it is a good chance to cultivate theirability in live independently.

这样的选择能让他们享受到更多的好处。首先，住在宿舍可以让一、二年级的学生更好的与同学互动，了解学校，熟悉学校环境，获取最新的消息。这对他们适应新生活，发展他友谊是有帮助的。第二，如果他们住在宿舍，他们可以更专注于自己的学习。与复杂的校外生活相比，学校生活是比他们以往任何时候的生活都要精彩，而且也有利于他们集中精神学习。此外，在后面的两年里，大学生倾向于处理别的事情而不只是学术研究，如未来的职业规划，深造等。因此，在校园外面租房子更便于获取信息，与现实社会接触，因此他们可以提前为他们的未来做准备并找到自己的位置。同时，它也是一个培养独立生活能力的好机会。

In a word, I advocate thatfreshmen and sophomores live in school dormitories and junior and seniorstudents choose to live outside the campus. Meanwhile, it is also necessary forthem to make their choices in accordance with their financial conditions andother actual satiation.

总之，我认为一、二年级的学生应该住在学校宿舍，三、四年级的学生应该住在校外。同时，根据他们的经济情况以及其他的实际情况来做决定也是很有必要的。
