Recommended: Academic benefit of living in a university residence

To many, residence is the most convenient option for accommodation. However, to me, it is more than just that. Rather, it is a great blessing and privilege, for with residence, one gets to become part of an entirely different aspect of college. I have been very active with several societies and my academic performance showcases that I am a hard worker who is focused on pursuing excellence and distinction in whatever I decide to commit to. I am also a firm believer in the need for fulfilling commitments to the best of my abilities. Thus, I have been giving my best efforts in fulfilling my academic and extra-curricular commitments in this college and so, because of this, I believe that I deserve to be in residence.

I believe that by being in residence, I will be able to succeed better and continue further in all my activities. I also believe that by being in this college, I can be blessed and even contribute to the Christian character of the institution. In the time that I have been in residence, I have been able to attend and participate in student led bible study sessions and to be fellowship with other Christian students. All of this adds to my desire to be …show more content…

In my first semester and the early part of the second, I was living off campus and thus, had many struggles because of my time spent in college. As mentioned, I have been very active with many societies and their events. I am particularly active with the Social Service League and the Campus Placement Cell which requires me to stay in college for extended periods of time when needed. When I was still living off campus, I would commute back to my PG alone in the late evenings and so, I have had a few incidents in which I truly felt unsafe and insecure. Moreover, the living environment is PGs is deplorable unless one is able to pay exorbitant amounts. The study environment at my PG was such that I would spend most of my time in the college

  • The Importance of Going Away to College

    Going away to college is a great way for people to meet new friends and experience new things. Usually a setting unlike their home will help them with both of these experiences.

  • College Essay

    607 Words  | 2 Pages

    At the start of the semester, my oblivious state of nature associating with the Chinese culture reached an unacceptable level. Implementing a necessary change, I decided to educate myself on different cultures starting with China. I failed to ponder that such a rich, deep culture existed outside America. Encompassed by this country’s unique yet suffocating melting pot culture, my outlook believed ideas such as uniformity between American Chinese food and Authentic Chinese food. After this course, my bigot perspective widened as I witnessed diversity in the world. Before this class, when I thought of Chinese food, my connotation jumped to thoughts associated with chop suey, but as I progressed my education, my mindset gradually pondered foods like steamed buns or “New Year Cakes” with authentic Chinese food.

  • Gary Gutting What Is College For Summary

    182 Words  | 1 Pages

    I agree with Gary Gutting in the article “What Is College For?”. I agree that college is a place for students to discover dimensions of knowledge that they would otherwise never know existed without attending. College should not be a place students go to just to pass their classes and earn a degree. I believe that college is about students discovering themselves as people and figuring out what kind of role they play in society. My first semester of college has been rough so far and I now see the reason so many people told me to live on campus. Living at home, I feel that I am not able to fully have a real college experience and make the connections with people I need. I hope to live on campus for a semester next year in hopes of engaging more

  • School In A Nutshell Essay: School In A Nutshell

    1057 Words  | 3 Pages

    While I wish finding my way around the school was my only problem, I was faced with some internal challenges. As the school year started, my friends slowly started to leave to these “big shot” colleges or simply move away to other community colleges. I, too, wanted the complete “college experience” somewhere in Arizona or across the country; yet I felt stuck and unaccomplished. I also felt jealousy which could have been because I did not get to decorate my dorm room.While talking about dedicating hard work to your education, Gina Rodriguez said “Just remember, during those times of fear and doubt, that you are right now discovering your true strength.” And in those times of doubt, I reminded myself why I could not just move and leave everything behind. The root of my challenges and concerns are my family. As I enrolled as a full time student, my family was fighting some financial problems which created marriage troubles for my parents. I could not leave at a time like this. I knew it was not the first time my parents were talking divorce but somehow I knew it was best to stay. I got financial aid from the school which saved me the fuss of asking my parents for money. It really meant so much to not put another worry on their

    College is a time for change and experiences whether it be moving away from family or having more freedom to make your own decisions without having some to constantly look over your shoulders and question your moves. One of the decisions, which could be one of the toughest, that freshmen students have to make is whether to commute or live on campus.

    ...school. Time is not an issue for students living on campus because they reside at the college, which makes it a lot easier to get to class. Whereas, students, who commute struggle to get up in order to catch a bus or two to get to class on time. Students living on campus can spend extra money on other things such as movies since they don’t have to pay for food or transportation. In contrast, students who commute need to save money on the side in order to have access to public transportation to get to class and pay for food at the school. Students living on campus are familiar with places around the college and they know more students. However, students commuting don’t have time for this since they are more worried about getting home on time. Living on campus should be considered by most college student since it appears to be a lot less stressful than living at home.
