When I was in high school, I really wanted to study in the City and live in a dorm. Not everyone likes that because they will live away from their family, and it's really hard. But for me, living in a dorm and away from my family is an opportunity to become independent and recognized myself and explore the life of being alone. Now, I've been living in a dorm for almost a year and it was like a dream come true.
When you apply for college and choose the school that is away from your house, living in a dorm is an alternative option for you. If you are commuting and your travel time is about more than two hours and above, you should think of living in a dorm. Why? Because, in the Philippines, your greatest adversary is traffic. You spend most of your time on the road, and it's so exhausting than doing something. Here is the list of advantages you'll expect when you lived in a dorm:
Proximity
You can easily access going to your class, in the library or, you have activities in school and it is not much a hassle for you to deal with the traffic. Also, can sleep more without worrying about being late. You can wake up early and do some exercise and other routine and you've been able to eat a complete breakfast.
Freedom
When you live in a dorm you have the freedom, no one will dictate or control your everyday life's do's and don'ts. You have your time, and you can do whatever you want, you can sleep anytime, have some time with your friend. Most student finds it great, but make sure you know your limitation.
Sense of Responsibility and Independence
Your confidence will grow naturally as you learn to look after yourself. You will become independent and responsible enough to handle everything, you are in-charge to perform some chores that you didn't do before. Learn to be mature enough to make a decision, to choose the right words.
Social Life
Living in a dorm can overcome any anti-social skills to deal with your roommates and schoolmates. You have the chance to have friends around your place and people with incredible experiences in life that you will learn from them. Hanging out in your dorm can broaden your perspective.
The list I gave was based on what I observed to myself living in a dorm, it is a general advantage. When you decided to live in a dorm expect all I mentioned in the list.
