What are the reasons for applying for accommodation?

There are many reasons why you may wish to apply for student accommodation as opposed to staying at home. Firstly, you are given the opportunity to meet a variety of other students who are in a similar position as you. This is a great opportunity to possibly make some long-lasting relationships and friendships. It’s also a great opportunity to start your journey to self-reliance, though it can be a great thing to have parents near who can ensure you wake up on time and that food is taken care of, living independently allows you to learn essential life skills such as cooking, managing finances, and even learning how to use appliances such as washing machines.

Why should students be encouraged to live in dormitories?

Many students prefer to live in dormitories as opposed to living with their parents. This may be due to a variety of reasons, such as the ease of access to university tools, being around students who are in similar situations to you, and the freedom that is given by living by yourself as opposed to with parents. Living in student accommodation also promotes learning how to cook and cuts the time of travelling to lectures.
