Some university students move away and live on their own while they are attending school, but others live at home with their family while they are students. Which do you think is a better choice? Give reasons to explain your answer.

Many students and their parents get in a dilemma when it comes to allowing their child to

study

while he's away or making him stay back

home

and continue his higher studies from a local university. In my opinion, students must stay with their parents and pursue their education from their

home

university as it guarantees a safe and secure

environment

for them to

study

, while

also

allowing students to be financially independent

thus

helping them to concentrate on their studies. It is a known fact that parents love and care for their children and ensure no harm comes their way.

This

parenting ensures a safe and secure

environment

in which the student can focus on his studies.

For instance

, a close friend of mine had gone to Canada for his higher studies. Soon reaching there, he started to have difficulty adjusting to the new

environment

and

also

started feeling

home sick

longing to return home

homesick

.

Hence

, he had to quit his studies midway and return

home

to his parents. Due to

this

complex of feeling insecure in a new and an unknown

environment

, some students find it difficult to stay away from

home

, for extended periods.

On the other hand

, students who live alone, away from their parents and

study

, often have to worry about their extra expenses. As they have to pay for the accommodation, food,

study

material etc. They are compelled to work in a part

time

job.

This

is not the case with those students who stay

home

with their parents and are able to focus on their education.

For example

, almost 90% of Cambridge University student living in college hostel complained of not getting sufficient

time

to complete their assignments and tutorials which have negatively affected their grades.

As a result

, students who stay

home

are able to devote more

time

towards their coursework, since they do not have to work part

time

to pay for any the above expenditures. In conclusion, In my opinion, students are far better off staying with their parents while they are studying.

This

way a student can better focus on his lectures and get good grades as his parents are close by to take care of him and he does not need to worry about paying for any extra expenditures.
