Sample Essay 实验范文:
Although nothing is like home, living in a parent-free environment can be
one of the most fun things in your college life. In spite of its obvious
drawbacks, staying away from home contributes to the full university experience
that money can buy. Part of any student's decision on where to live is a
financial one; however, money being not the issue, it is better for you to go
for a new experience, if only for fun.
Dorm life is real fun, even more so when your room is situated in the
university's residence hall. To begin with, living in a dorm is a sure
opportunity to meet people, so it is hard to feel lonely. For freshmen who are
prone to 'homesickness', the companionship found there can make the transition
away from home easier. Further, dorm life is a crash course in interpersonal
skills because you need to learn how to get along with your roommates as well as
people in your hallway. Needless to say, it is more convenient to live on campus
since you can walk everywhere you need to go without the trouble of commuting.
Is it not that that kind of campus life which you have been waiting for?
Nevertheless , living away from home is sometimes not as interesting as
expected. Apart from financial considerations, there are other factors to
consider. For one thing, roommate conflict could sound like a potential
nightmare. Chances are that some roommates could be worse than others, making
your dorm life somewhat difficult, indeed. For another, constant companionship
implies lack of privacy which you usually enjoy at home. Moreover, even when you
like to meet people, it could so happen that they are not all going to be people
you want to meet.
Altogether, money permitted, college life could not possibly be fun enough
without the experience of living away from home. Such experience, even though
not entirely agreeable, may be of use to a student soon to become a mature
member of the community. In fact, if dorm life appears to you like freedom from
parental control, you would soon realize that it is fun to be free, at least for
a while. (Essay created by Jeenn Lee Hsieh)
