Some students prefer to live in university dormitories.
However
, other students choose to live in apartments in the
community
. I think both of these options have advantages. In
this
 essay, I will give my reasons to support my view. From the one side, living in a
dormitory
 has many benefits.
First
 of all, for a foreign student, it is a good chance to improve his or her communication skills and find new friends.
Second
 of all, a
dormitory
 has many useful facilities
such
 as libraries, a canteen, Internet access, etc.
In addition
 to these practical benefits living in a
dormitory
 is often cheaper. So, it helps students save some money what is important at the beginning of their independent life.
Finally
, living in a
dormitory
 gives students the opportunity to ask for help each other if something was not clear on the lecture presented in a class.
This
, in turn, leads to higher grades.
Also
, students have many common

subjects
 and interests to discuss with each other. So, basically, living in a
dormitory
 helps students to become more sociable and good team-players and gain new knowledge and experience by use of lab, libraries and group discussion. From the other side, living in apartments in the
community
also
 have a few benefits. Students can have more privacy and,
also
, they can choose a
community
 according to its convenience and location. It is sometimes may be an essential because of a person's job. In conclusion, I think that living in a
dormitory
 brings students more benefits than it does living in a
community
. Students learn to get along with each other, be ready to help and make friends.
