大学生在外租房的利弊

大学生在外租房的利弊 Should College Students Live on Campus or off Campus? In recent years, more and more students like to live off campus rather than on campus nowadays. Should College Students Live off Campus? People’s views on this issue vary from one to another. Just as coin has two sides, there are advantages and disadvantages of renting a house off campus. The advantages could be as follows. First of all, students can have a freer living style and an easier time management. Besides, the apartment outside living can be more convenient and would be more flexibly to arrange their own schedules and improve the learning efficiency. Because students can make their own plan of when to get up, when to sleep, when to have meal and when to study they can also burn the midnight oil when the study is very busy. Secondly, renting an apartment outside school can make students have more private space, not like living in the dormitory which easily affects others. Finally, renting a house could help students learn how to live by themselves, and help them learn to be independent. However, living off campus does pose problems. A student living alone off campus may incur greater personal risks. With less time to mix with classmates, he or she will be less competent as a team player. Having to spend much time traveling to the campus, the student will have serious challenges to be punctual for classes. Besides, it may be not safe for a student living outside the campus without the supervision or help from the staff of the university. When emergencies happen, students have no one to ask for help. Moreover, without their independent income, most students will certainly increase financial burdens on their parents. some students may not be able to control themselves very well. Finally, they may addict to computer games, or even gambling, because nobody would control them. Last but not least, it should be more expensive to rent a house and live outside the campus. In a word, it is hard to say living off campus is good or bad. It is reasonable to say that it depends on the characteristics of the student. If they can control themselves well enough, it may be a good idea to live off campus. Otherwise, living on campus may be a suitable way of living.
