2. Hostel Life:
Student life goes happy. Life is best in the studies. A good school with best
friend’s living happy. Hostel is best to eat in and good accommodation to stay
in. Those days were fine for remember. Hostel life is very happy and free. In
hostel life not only good but also bad is there, remember, so be care. Don’t
select to go wrong route with your friends.
Hostel life is very interesting to the students for read well. She learns to speak
fluently with others. She acquires good manners and learns how to behave in
society. As a hosteller is free from family worries, he can concentrate on her
studies. She can also take part in social and extra-curricular activities. She
learns a number of things from her senior students living in the same hostel.
Despite these disadvantages, hostel life provides ample scope to students to
develop on the right lines and grow up as good citizens in due course of time,
provided the authorities can manage and control their activities constructively.
Some schools and colleges are hostels maintains as good. Many advantages are
in hostel. A student leads an undisturbed life and his plenty of free time at his
disposal for serious studies. The hostel has provision for a common dinning
where healthy meals served. All students are co-operating ones to ones as close
friends. Hostels have provision for gymnasium where the hosteller can take
morning exercise and building their bodies.
In a nutshell, the hostel not only cares for the health of the students but also
their studies. There is a reading room and library attached to the hostel to enable
the students to study books, news papers and computer internet. As a hosteller is
not under the care of his family, he develops a sense of independence and self-
reliance. She is not under the supervisory attention which a mother always tries
to give to the child. She gets the normal attention of the hostel superintendent
who looks into his genuine difficulties and removes them about, at the same
time, gives him freedom enough to make his own choice, put forth his demands
and meet his own day-to-day requirements.
She is in an educational atmosphere where his intellect gets disciplined and his
mind cultivated in an intellectual direction. She has a good chance to play
different games and therefore, he builds his body and health. She forms the
habit of co-operation with friends, and learns the art of cultivate working and
behavior. But there are many disadvantages of hostel life. If a hosteller falls in a
bad company she has chances of going astray. If does not get proper money
from her parents, she has the tendency to develop evil habits and to divert his
categories under the influence of bad company. If she looks at a rich co-

inferiority complex which spoils her character and personality.
What is Better, Home Life and Hostel Life?
Actually home life and hostel life is entirely different from each other. And both
have their own pros in cons. I highly recommend living in hostel for at least an
year. This brings confidence in children. They are able to stand up for their
rights and also learn how to cope with problems and difficulties on their own.
They also learn to manage their expenses and routine and studies on their own.
However, there is no comparison whatsoever of Home life. Mom's pampering
and food are unmatchable in the entire world.
What Is Hostel Life for the Students?
It is said that east or west home is the best. The comforts and facilities which we
enjoy at home, we cannot have them anywhere else. However, hostel life is also
full of charms and pleasures. A hostel is an integral part of college. The boys
belonging to distant areas live in a hostel to complete their college education.
The boys are young and of the same age. The student belong to different status,
castes, faiths and areas and they are strangers to one -another but they soon
develop friendship and brotherhood among themselves.
The difference between rich boys and poor boys is no longer seen in the hostel.
In a hostel, they are equal. They all live in similar rooms; take their food from
same mess they sit together in the common room to chat with one another. They
play different games together. Sometimes Debates, discussions and dramatic
programmes are arranged in the hostel.
All these happy activities of the hostel not only keep the student physically fit
but also provide them a chance to display their hidden qualities of head and
heart. College hostel has also a mess. The student is independent to choose the
members of their mess. They members are responsible for the smooth running
of the mess. They also elect their monitors and a pleasant atmosphere in the
hostel.
Other countries purpose for students hostel life:
Well the hostel life in Pakistan is very different from the other countries. Most
of the students who live in the villages and underdeveloped cities of Pakistan
[3]
4. come to the big and developed cities of Pakistan like Karachi, Islamabad and
Lahore for seeking education for their future. These students do not rely on
relative or do not have relatives in these countries so they need to stay in the
hostel for pursuing their education in those countries. So there are many
students every year that stays in hostel during their education time period. The
hostel life of the students is very different from the domestic life.
So the students have to incur lot of expenditures in order to meet their hostel
expenses. They have to pay much amount in order to arrange food for them in
the hostel. They do not do their work by themselves they use the laundry service
in order to get clean and neat dresses. Students who live in hostel are very
careless because they live away from their home. They are unable to manage
themselves in the hostel life. So most of the hostel does not provide good
services to the students. So this is all about the hostel life of the students.
Advantages and Disadvantages in Hostel Life?
The advantages as everyone else pointed out is theist gives you courage and
determination to go ahead in life. Studies will be with full concentration and
students living in hostel will have almost 90% + attendance. Coming to the dark
side the disadvantages are you feel so home sick that you can’t focus on
anything else than planning to run away from hostel, anytime your mom or dad
calls your voice chokes due to grief and feel like giving them a hug but won’t be
possible for some students living in separate rooms at their homes have
problems sharing their rooms in hostel. Getting adjusted to your roommates
might be a problem sometimes.
A hostel is a place where usually travelers and students live and which is
supervised by an administration. You can call it as an inn as well. So living in
those hostels is called the hostel life. You want to know about its advantages
and disadvantages. In fact, as you know very well that everything has some
good points and some negatives in it. The same situation is with the life of a
hostel. Especially it has positive points for the students. Now first of all we
discuss the positive points.
The advantages of living in hostels are very prominent. A person who is living
in a hostel he can study with full concentration. She does not need to perform
the necessary house hold tasks daily. She usually does not prepare food for him.
She will also learn to trust on himself because he has to do all of his personal
work by himself. And that makes a person confident and courageous.
There are always some disadvantages of hostel life. A person who is living in a
hostel he is not close to his family. And at times he would miss her family. If he
gets ill, he would really miss his loved ones to be there for him. There is always
a feeling of loneliness to the person living in a hostel
[4]
5. Hotel life is the most pleasurable period of a student's life. The students who do
not get a chance to live in a hostel miss a valuable and memorable piece of
experience. Hostel life produces in the students a sense of confidence and self-
help. Here the student is not under the close check of his parents. She has to set
the daily routine of life himself. Hostel life teaches the value of punctuality to
the students. Hostel life trains the youth for practical life there is a hostel
superintendent but her control is nominal. If the boarders do not violate hostel
rules, his presence is not even felt. It gives a special opportunity to the students
to study properly. There is no disturbance and one can devote as much time to
his studies as one likes.
Hostel life has its disadvantages too. The hostel students, sometimes, misuse
their freedom and independence which spoils their promising career. Some
begin to love films and fashions. Some waste their money in gambling and
drinking. Some hostels are overcrowded and do not provide healthy and
comfortable living. The crowded rooms do not allow the students to pay proper
attention to their studies. Our political parties also misuse the students
especially the boarders.
Conclusion:
Due to rapid globalization, concept of long distant studies is found everywhere
around the world. Developed means of communication, easy access to world’s
institution, and highly sophisticated advertisements have increased the trend of
studying in far-away places from home towns. Mostly institutions are situated in
urban areas. When no colleges or schools are available in villages, the students
try to approach those institutions and choose to live in hostels. There is another
trend prevails in cities, where students prefer to go to abroad for higher
institutions and thus the case is same for both of them. Their purpose is to
acquire education from best institutions as per their financial support.
Hostel life offer many amusements which are not experienced in home life. First
is the full independence from parents’ questioning like; where are you going?
When will you come? Don’t go anywhere without permission? We don’t have
money for your wandering habits, etc. It offers a special company, through
which students are attached with each other as they are family members.
Almost all hostels provide accommodation to two or three students in a room.
Those roommates live, eat, study, and spend free time altogether. They share
everything to each other because it is inevitable while living in a same room. In
hostels students being out of sight from their parents, spend money lavishly.
There is no check on their expenditures. They go out for lunch or dinners as per
their mood, they visit cinemas, restaurants, sports club frequently.
[5]
6. This is not the end of hostel life. It provides a good and studious environment
for those, who want to study with full determination. A complete silent room
motivates the student to study with full concentration. They have much time to
explore the boundaries of education and to enjoy hostel life as well. It all
depends upon the time management, planning and determination.
Often, students get indulge in bad activities which are socially and morally
unaccepted. For the time being they enjoy the pleasure of youth and freedom
from restrictions. But they never know the harshness of realities of life.
Apparently all vices seem attractive, like boys develop the habit of smoking in
this free environment, drinking is also attached with it, and even they entrap in
opposite sex for fun.
All these unproductive activities are considered as the pleasure of hostel life;
however these are the evils in young generation. Students at hostel learn to live
independent, may become responsible, may learn to develop the art of public
relations, may the patience and tolerance be the part of their personalities etc.
these are the positivity’s of hostel life. But people are ignoring it and are caught
in cosmetic charms of free life. Students get a chance of personality
development. Their abilities may be shine more; management and presentation
skills are also developed. The hostel life demands commitment and
determination towards goal-achievement and offers its pleasures to them as
well, but in true sense.
