Dormitory and House

Recent year, it is very easy for people all over the world to move to other places. They usually go to work, school or visit their family in other places. People who get the college far from their house are faced by difficult condition weather living in dormitory or be commuters. It depends on how far their house from their campus. For example, most of students of university decide to live in a dormitory until they graduate. However, students who have house about 20 km from their college usually decide to commute everyday in their activities. Both of those choices have their own effect depend on costs, time, and friendship.

Both students who live in dormitory and who decide to be commutershave to pay their study on time. Not only the cost of their study, but they also have to be able to arrange their money well. Most of the students of the university look  like have more money in early month, but they don’t have money at all in the last date of month. It is why most of students of the  university looking for part time job to survive in their study. However, students who live in a dormitory differ from students who be commuters in several ways. It  is okay for students who live in dormitory not to bring their vehicle to campus because most of their dormitory is not far from their campus, but it is impossible for the other one not to ride their motorcycle or public transportation because their distance is so far. It means that the commuters have to pay more money to buy fuel everyday. On the other way, students who live in dormitory have to pay their cost during their  life in that place. They also have to buy their own meal or cook it themselves.

Students have to manage their time effectively. They have many assignment from their lecturer that must submit on time. So, both of students who live in dormitory and commuters must arrange their schedule accurately. Indeed, students who also work for their study have more job to be done. Unfortunately, they have no choice to prefer the other one because both of their assignment and their job are similarly important for them. Students who live in dormitory can do their assignment after they arrive at their dorm, while the commuters have to ride their vehicle before arrive at home and doing their assignment. It is not rare for the commuters need longer rest than the other one because their journey to go back home sometimes not fluent enough.

 Friendship is formed by the time and loyalty. People who have the same purpose and job is possible to make a friend during their relationship of work together. It is really possible for students of the university to make a friendship because of their same mission to study in the same faculty. They often work in a team to solve their problem of assignment from their lecturer and make them closer than before. Both of students who live in dormitory and commuters  spent their busy or leisure time together. However, both of them are really different in several way. Commuters meet their friends less than students who live in dormitory. They spent their holiday at home with their family and common society. In contrast, students who live in dormitory have more time to meet their friends in campus and in their dorm. Their friendship sometimes look like they are a family. Unfortunately, they sometimes spent their holiday in a dorm because it is far for them to go back home. It means that they are rare in their house to meet their family and common society.

In other word, although both of students who live in dormitory and students who commute everyday differ in several ways, but they also have some similarities. Both of them have same problem to pay their cost during their study, they have to arrange their schedule and manage their time well, and they also have the same occasion to make a friendship with their society during their study in the university. Commuters have to ride their vehicle to go to campus, they spent much time on their journey to go to campus and to go back home, and they can spent their leisure time to meet their family and other society. In other hand, students who live in dormitory must pay their dorm and buy their meal or cooking it during their study in the university, they have more time to concentrate with their study because they don’t need to commute every single day, but it is also rare for them to meet their family and other society because they spent almost all their time in campus and their dorm. Whatever their choice, both of them are students who must study hard to get the best knowledge.(Nur Halimah/ 1420302187)
