Topic 1: Many university students live with their families, while others live away

from home because their universities are in different places. What are the
advantages and disadvantages of both situations?
Currently, undergraduate students have two options: either live near to family or
live far from family because the university is far from where you live. However,
each circumstances has some advantages and some disadvantages.
Living with our families helps us save on expenses incurred. Common expenses
incurred when we are away from our families such as accommodation expenses
and commuting cost. Therefore, being near our families will not need to worry
about finances and concentrate on studying. Futhermore, living with our families
closes family connection. At meals, cook meals together and share everything in
the day with each other. Last but not least, they can be taken care of and feel loved.
At times when we are seriously ill, there will always be someone to take care of us
wholeheartedly and will always be the one to give us unconditional love. By
contrast, living with families also has other disadvantages. The first, we will have a
little freedom. They always live by the norms and rules of the family, before you
go out with your friends or do something, you have to report to your parents where
to go and time to be back. The second, we may not improve independent. Living
with our families will depend quite a lot on the family so that we may not have the
opportunity to learn independent skills like those who are far from family.
On the other hand, living far away from parents can bring some positive effects on
students personal life. To begin with, living far away from parents offers students
opportunity to feel a sense of freedom. Since we are out of parents sight, we can do
whatever we want and whenever we want. Staying alone, enabling you to develop
independent responsibility. Students can set our tactics to resolve any kind of
issues like handling the work of home and job. However, despite these benefits, it
is essential part of students to earn money for bearing all costs in our life. Besides,
living far from away from parents, we will all feel homesick, miss the take care of
our parents, when we are sick we have to take care of ourselves.
In conclusion, if tertiaries are located within a short distance, students can live with
family, while when students select foreign countries to take a higher degree, they
must be in the resident of overseas countries. Whatever leaners choose to live, on
each side, they get benefits as well as suffer from shortcomings.
