...For some students may feel like living at home is more convenient whereas the parents thinks that their kids should live at the hostel. This is because living at home gives students a more independent and personal space to study, living in the hostel offers a convenient academia, which students can use time well. Living in the hostel is like a whole new world for students because there are various kinds of people they can meet. They are more likely being influenced by their friends. They can easily be horse around by paying more attention to their activites rather than to studies. Sometimes there are many different school’s association activities, parties and games. They often attract many boarders to join. What’s worse, these students usually stay up all night and have abnormal sleeping which can affect their studying. On the other hand, living at home they may be controlled by their parents that gives them more time to studies and pay more attention rather than slacking off. But, living in the dormitory tends to contribute to the good studies of those who can manage time well. If students are self-disciplined, they can use the luxury of school’s resource liking laboratories, libraries, and computers to help them study. For one thing, not every family has abundant resources liking universities. Thus living in a dormitory is a good chance to use them when studying. Take English learning for example, boarders can go to the university’s library to look for some English books,...

...EVERYDAY HOSTEL LIFE IN UNIVERSITY: A SOCIAL APPROACH The dictionary defines a hostel as “an establishment which provides inexpensive food and lodging for a specific group of people such as students, workers or travellers.” Although this definition suffices to explain the concrete structure of a hostel, it fails to encompass the social, intercultural and personal realms of “hostel life”. Here, the keyword is “life”. Staying in a hostel does not only mean availing the facilities of food and lodging but it is also a web of interpersonal relationships, interactions, cultural mingling, development of self-reliance and a sense of belonging which constitutes the social life and personality of an individual. Without the web of social interactions, a hostel would be merely a room rented in a hotel. Hence, the difference between “hostel” and “hostel life” is clearly demarcated. Studying the various knick-knacks of everyday hostel life and the broader social significance of it is the objective of my research. Since I am a college student, I chose to base my studies about hostel life at the university level for the sheer convenience of it. For the purpose of the research, I handed out a questionnaire to a number of university students availing the hostel and interacted with a number of ex-hostelites as well as non-hostelites and thus deduced my detailed observations from it. WHY HOSTEL? The first question that arises while studying hostel life is “why would an individual choose to...

...school seniors deferring entrance into college for one year. The practice of gap year is a European tradition that has been observed for decades. High school seniors take this year to travel, volunteer or work abroad. The time off to travel and experience life outside of school is invaluable. Students have the opportunity to take a break from the grind of studying, experience different cultures and most importantly transition from being high school students into young adults before heading off to college. In 1978 Charles, The Prince of Wales launched Operation Drake a gap year expedition circumnavigating the globe by ship. This is one of the riskier gap year choices, most choices are much tamer and include lodging in a youth hostel or a tent and not on the high seas. The top 10 destinations for gap year according to leading adventure website itoi.com are; 1. South Africa 2. Costa Rica 3. Kenya 4. Sri Lanka 5. Tanzania 6.Honduras, 7. India, 8.

...INTRODUCTION ORIGIN – We are conducting a research on the topic: ''Impacts of Hostel Life on Academic Achievement '' assigned by SM. Asif- Ur- Rahman, our Business Communication faculty. BACKGROUND- In some countries the word hostel is specifically used for the accommodation of student and travelers. However, in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, the hostel is believed to be a place of residence that a school, colleges or universities has, all hostels are supervised by the hostel wardens and other staff. The hostel generally students and many emeplyed people.These people come from different ethical, social, geographical and economical background. The hostel is a place where students stay for pursuing formal education away from their homes. But the concept of hostel is not only limited to place of residence, hostel is a human practical laboratory. Students learn as much as from their teachers as well as fellows during hostel stay. It enriches the understanding of the curriculum through analytical discussion among the students living in the hostels, and may contribute to character building as well. Students in hostel not only learn the theoretical material they also learn how to enhance their personal abilities and learn to live independently.Hostels provide budget-oriented, sociable accommodation where guests can rent a bed, usually a bunk bed, in a dormitory and share a bathroom, lounge, and sometimes a kitchen. Rooms can be shared among few people, although private...

...slightly decrease in 2014 compared to 2013. The household saving rate increased sharply in respond by the crisis and reached 13,2 % in 2009 while it began to decrease in 2010, to reach 10,7% in the end of 2013. The unemployment rate is foreseen to remain stable for 2014. Furthermore, it is interesting to point out that despite the slowdown Europeans keep going on holidays even if they spend less. The slightly increase of the GDP and decrease of inflation rate can be seen as a better economic situation in the EU 27, as a general increase of the wealth of many Europeans and a higher purchasing power. Moreover, the decreasing household saving might be interpreted as an increase in consumption. This is likely going to increase the demand for the hostel industry. As the unemployment rate remains stable, workforce remains unaltered and then likely does not offset the positive effect of the others factors analysed above. Technological Environment Nowadays, technology is developing fast in the...

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Student’s academic performance occupies a very important place in education as well as in the learning process. So to have better classroom performance and lower drop out incidence, many colleges require students to stay in school dormitories especially those students who live far from school like Cavite, Tarlac, Laguna, Batangas etc. It is widely believed that living in campus dormitory can acquire some benefits in their academic performance. Large universities provide a number of academic services in dormitories such as tutoring and student organizations that encourage an environment conducive to learning. Residence halls have served as an essential aspect of collegiate life since the early colonial colleges. Closely associated with the learning environment, early dorms housed faculty in the facilities to serve in the roles of counselors, supervisors, and educators. Historically, research on individual differences that bear on school success has focused on general intelligence. A century of empirical evidence has now unequivocally established that intelligence, defined as the “ability to understand complex ideas, to adapt effectively to the environment, to learn from experience, to engage in various forms of reasoning, to overcome obstacles by taking thought” (Neisser et al., 1996 , p. 77) has a monotonic, positive relationship with school success (Gottfredson, 2004; Kuncel, Ones, & Sackett, 2010 ; Lubinski, 2009...

...Reminiscing the Past... Reminiscing the past...well its nice to rekindle some past experiences especially if those were really interesting and fun. I had a great night yesterday because I was able to visit my former dormitory in UP Diliman. When I was still studying in the university, I stayed in an old building, the NARRA Residence Hall. It's an exclusive dormitory for male students of UP Diliman. Anyways, I was with Leo yesterday and he told me that he will go to UP Diliman to bring something for Kiko. Because of not having been there for a long time, I decided to join him and went there from Las Pinas. It was really a tiring ride from the almost southernmost part of Manila to the northernmost part of the region. Leo and I were able to get a cab from Las Pinas and it cost me a lot for the fare... Well, we arrived in UP Diliman at around 8:30 in the evening. We waited for Kiko at Philcoa Jollibee Branch. Just after 15 minutes, I guess, we saw Kiko outside waiving at us with Anton. I felt happy seeing them again after a long time. They told me that Narra is having their OPEN HOUSE that night. Leo told me that he informed me about it but I cant really remember him telling me that. Anyways, I felt a bit bad because I didnt bring my camera with me...and I was only holding my very cheap Nokia 1110i and left my phone camera in my condo. So it was a little frustrating though...I kept on blaming Leo and Leo kept on telling me that he infomed me about it. I guess it was my fault.....

...When enter colleges, college students will face many new problems or decisions, which they have to make. Among which there is a choice for them at first place, that is, he or she has to decide whether to live on campus or live outside of campus. Actually, both of the two choices have their own advantages and disadvantages. So, different people may have different opinions. For example, they will think about the cost, location, how to make friends easily and be specific. Sometimes, it is very hard for the students to tell which one is better and which one is worse because the two choices share a lot of similarities. However, through this analysis, they may find out which one they prefer. First of all, let’s see the advantages of living on campus. First and foremost, living on campus is more convenient than living outside of campus. For instance, If you live on-campus, you can easily walk to classes, libraries, computer labs and cafeterias.You don't have to waste time and money on driving to college, finding a parking space, and so forth. And also, Residences halls usually provide almost all equipment one may need. When living off-campus, it may not be convenient for you to walk to campus so you would have to find transportation. Whether you drive your car or use a form of public transportation, it is still going to cost you money. Traffic can also be an issue if you live in a crowded area. The second advantage of living on campus is can allow you to meet more people...

...Dormitory History From the beginning of the college in 1922 until the mid- to late 1960s, the college had functioned predominantly as a commuter campus. Most of the students were Arkansas City or Cowley County residents, certainly within driving distance to the college. The few who were non-residents were able to obtain housing from private citizens. During the 1960s, the number of students coming from outside Cowley County began to increase dramatically. College personnel such as Del Heidebrecht, Ben Cleveland, Bill Scott, and Dr. Gwen Nelson attempted to secure privately owned facilities in which students could rent. At the same time enrollment was increasing, the college also was losing potential students because of a lack of housing. Heidebrecht, Cleveland and Scott began to solve the problem by identifying private individuals who would be happy to cooperate with the college in an effort to ease the situation. Some early pioneers in that venture include Aileen Haynes, Norman Iverson, George and Betty Sybrant, Vic Bryant, Aubrey Foster, Elmer Morris, Vera Tipton, Ethel Young, Walt and Ruth Fesler, Bruce and Dorothy Smith, Chuck Dumenil and Fern Culmer. And when Dr. Nelson and his wife Lu discovered that it was next to impossible for non-resident African American students to find housing, the Nelsons purchased a house at 215 N. Fifth St. to rent to all students: black, white, athletes and non-athletes. These efforts helped, but other approaches to solving the problem needed...

...Almost every young person entering the period of college education faces the decision to either stay at home or go away for school. The transition from home to dorm life can be seen as one of the most important events in a young persons life, because it is the first extreme life change. Home life and dorm life represent two different ways of living as well as different conditions. Nevertheless, they both have their similarities and oppositions, which can be illustrated only after a deep analysis of both lifestyles. On-campus dormitories may be a pleasant experience for one person and a terrible test for another. First of all, any individual living in the dorms will have to face the reality of rooming with up to three other people. At times dealing with others can be a pain, especially if they are uncooperative. Secondly, the dorms do not provide the individuals with an actual kitchen and contains a small space for refrigerating food. This means that students have to eat in the cafeteria where the food may not be the best quality. Thirdly, the dorms are very small. The average dorm is 12ft by 19ft, which is supposed to house two people and all of their belongings, such as clothes and electronics. Being cramped inside a room can be very uncomfortable as there is little to no privacy because of the closeness of everyone. Living on campus is vastly different than living at home. Home living is another option sometimes chosen by young people. First of all, home living allows the...
