Compare and contrast living at home and in the dormitory (final)

There are many differences between living at home and living in the dormitory. Though I have never lived in the dormitory, many of my friends told me the things about the experiences that they lived in the dormitory. I think the remarkable difference between living at home and in the dormitory is you should do everything by yourself and you can learn different life styles from home. Owing to we live at home since we was born, we were used to be managed by parents in terms of everything. We do not have to worry about how to prepare our diet. Parents would protect us from being harmed and give us a lot of care. We will not) grow up because parents shield us from hard things. Unlike living at home, living in the dormitory, you should do everything by yourself. Things like cleaning your room and washing dirty clothes…, etc. Maybe these things are very cumbersome, but it can train us to be independent on the other hand. And when you live in the dormitory, you can know every kind of roommates. It seems to be interesting to make a lot of friends. You can find distinctive characters from them. For example, people who come from the south are friendly and they speak Taiwanese fluently. On the contrary, you should tolerate dissimilar life styles in the dormitory and you do not have personal space to do the things you like to. For instance, some people are used to going to bed late because they like to do things in the midnight. Some people will be crazy when they can not sleep well.

Living at home and living in the dormitory have both advantages and disadvantages. But it depends on yourself to choose one suitable for you. Next semester I will have a chance to live in the dormitory. I think I should try to learn how to adapt to various conditions and become mature.
