Band 6.5

Many university students live with their families, while others live away from home because their universities are in different places. What are the advantages and disadvantages of both situations?

#university #students #families #home #universities #places #situations
Yes, it's true that a
student
 need to stay away from family for study when the university is far from the hometown, But many students don't go out for their studies because they may have the university in their hometown itself.
However
, I would like to explain both advantages and disadvantages. If a
student
 stays with his family, he can save a lot of money in case of accommodation and other expenses. He can get the support of family and food. He can share the room with a brother and sister.
Although
, along with advantages, there are some disadvantages as well. The
student
 can distract with his studies in his family because of many members.
For example
, Anybody can call him and may assign the work to him. So staying at home for studies, there are some benefits and some drawbacks too.
On the other hand
, When a
student
 lives away from the family for study purpose, a
student
 can have many advantages and similar disadvantages. The
student
 needs to find accomodation for staying.
However
, it may be costly if the university is in the main city. The
student
 needs to spend more money for staying. The
student
 needs to take care of food as he's staying out of home for studies. Lots of the time he can spend in the arrangements of his living. But along
this
 he can find a lot of time for studies as well because there is no one to disturb him. He can have many friends like him who came from studies. They can help each other if they face any issue. In conclusion, both situations have advantages and disadvantages of staying in the family and away from the family for studies.
