skills
. Moreover
, being far from neglecting the advantages of home
living, I would like to bring outcomes of the positive impact of separate living on leadership
skills
found in the scope of my scientific research.
For students
who continue to live at home
during their studies, the major advantage is that they are almost free from domestic routines. For example
, there is no necessity cooking meals or laundry and as a consequence
, there is more time for study and self-development. In addition
to this
, the supportive attitude of parents leads to the absence of thinking about leaving. Because of the friendly home
atmosphere, students
are tuned to success. However
, excessive concern may develop negative habits like laziness and lack of motivation. The well-known psychological experiment “Universe - 25” demonstrated the collapse of the mice family due to
artificially eliminating any possible problems that they meet in their ordinary life
. These heavenly conditions were finalized by the complete disappearance of all mouses.
The main advantage for students
choosing to find accommodation at their college or ranting flats is that independent living develops such
life
skills
as self-sufficiency and decision-making skills
. Comparatively home
a dormitory life
pushes students
to be self-care and incorporate into their schedule such
duties as cleaning, cooking, and family obligations that were previously done by parents. By combining study and daily routines students
overcome all difficulties of students
’ challenging time. On the other hand
, drawbacks of individual living such
as overcoming financial scarcities, budgeting, and adapting to homesickness develop students
’ leadership
skills
. Our research designed to specify the impact of accommodation on leadership
demonstrated the highest rate of leadership
in the first group of students
who were renting flats. Dormitory residents and students
living at home
demonstrated lower results compared to the first group.
In conclusion, we would like to admit that there is nothing wrong with using home
life
advantages if it diminishes obstacles and helps to fully concentrate on studies. However
, an independent life
despite on more difficult life
agenda consists of more advantages to being ready for social life
, boosting self-sufficiency, and obtaining highly demanded leadership
skills
