In some countries, students live with their family while studying at a university. In other countries, students attend university in another city. Do you think the advantages of living away from home while attending university outweigh the disadvantages?

The viewpoint of either it is better to live away or with the family while studying at a university in some countries varies. While living in another city can be beneficial, in my opinion, it has more drawbacks than benefits. On the one hand, to be independent is the main goal to master when living away from family. Personal decision-making and

management are some of the skills best learned when there is no one to do it for you. These skills come in handy,

as cooking, doing household chores, plumping and lumbering, to decide whether to study or to go out, which items to buy and how to delegate each hour of the day to meet the needs which the student might not have probably done back home.

On the other hand

, there are several reasons why studying away from the family is deemed disadvantageous.
