Home life cultivates emotions of man where as
hostel life develops individuality Mothers affection, fathers vigilance and
brother’s interest ma he missing in the hostel hut there are many compensatory
benefits. I think, without hostel life man is incomplete and he cannot live an
independent life successfully till he has lived in a hostel. Hostel life is the
most suitable type of life particularly for the students. But everything has
its negative aspect and so is the Case with the hostel life. In a hostel a
person may while away his time in useless activities and it may not be possible
for hint to take up the work as seriously as he may take up at home.
In hostel a person is able to develop independent
relations with his roommates and with other students. These relations are based
on a feeling of equality which is missing at home. At home a person may talk to
his father only as a son and to his younger there only as an elder, in the
hostel there is the sense of equality. Consequently one learns the way s of
life. One cannot be irritated by others’ remarks and one may not be very
liberal with his friends. A relation based upon rationality has to be
cultivated.
A person learns to live within means. While living
in the hostel one gets a fixed amount of money every month and he cannot demand
more money at any time of the month. At home one can get some money from the
father and some from the mother and some from brother and sister. In the hostel
one has to be ‘every particular about one’s budget. This habit of economy
stands in good stead during one’s life.
In hostel one Lets every opportunity for studying. Properly.
Uncles and aunts cannot visit you and waste your time. Similarly no time will
be wasted quarreling with brothers and sisters and in doing some of the
household jobs. In the hostel a person will be concerned only with one’s
studies. More over one can adjust time of study according to one’s liking. One
can study through-out the night without disturbing the sleep of the other
members of the family. More over one can easily consult class-fellows in the
hotel. At home that type of help may not be available.
In the hostel one leads an independent life free
from curbs; one is to decide oneself whether he has to do a particular thing or
not. There is a possibility that in taking some decisions he may
Commit a mistake and so he may suffer ultimately. If he
takes a wise decision he may be successful in his life. He learns how to come
to a definite decision. This type of independent thinking is helpful in many
ways.
In hostel one can come across different types of
people and those people may make us to know much about life and the way of
life. Students with different types of family background live in the hostel and
so he comes to know about the different standards of living.
Above all one’s life becomes some what disciplined
in a hostel. In some of the hostels every student has to get up at a particular
time whereas in other hostels one has to play games in the evening
compulsorily. So this makes the life quite regular. Hostel makes us to learn
many things about life and its ways and if one takes the hostels life as it
should be taken one can develop one’s personality.
