WHY A FRESHER SHOULD STAY IN SCHOOL HOSTEL AT LEAST IN HER FIRST YEAR by highfaculty(m): 7:00am On Feb 28, 2019
WHY SHOULD I STAY IN SCHOOL HOSTEL?
1. IT’S RELATIVELY SECURE
Hardly have I seen anyone who gains admission into a university and isn’t happy about it. It’s a thing of joy and it makes people feel very elated for the new level.

But I have seen lots of unhappy people at the university. This mainly is caused by a security threat received from other unscrupulous students.

When you stay in the school hostel, you are more protected compared to when you stay off campus.

The school security protects you to an extent. This is just one of the major advantages of staying in the school hostel.

But honestly speaking, whatever level you are academically, staying off campus is for the matured minds only.

WHY SHOULD I STAY IN THE SCHOOL HOSTEL
As a fresher, there is an acronym you will hear in school, “CTY” which means Catch Them Young.

Some sects wait to ravish freshers. That is what happens to freshers when they come to the university newly.

When you stay in the school hostel, you are more protected. There is a security post all around the school premises.

The school hostel provides moderation to everything. What do I mean? Well, no matter your kind of person and what you like, in the school hostel, you are constrained with everything and giving you room to study.

2. IT HELPS YOU TO KNOW THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT
As a fresher who is coming to the school for the first time, you are expected to be acquainted with the school environment for your own benefit.

Being acquainted with the school environment helps you get along in school with little or no trouble at all.

Staying off campus the first year gives you little or benefit when it comes to knowing your school.

The more you know your school, the better for you in your days in school. You can also check out the things you must learn in school before leaving the university.

Though, am not trying to scare you, but there are some parts in school you shouldn’t goto at some certain times. If you stay in the school hostel, you will know about those kinds of places.

3) PROPINQUITY TO INFORMATION
As a fresher, you may be blown off balance most times by the way the school system operates.

Information is what puts you in the right position and it is what you have in your head that takes you ahead.

The school hostel gives you first-hand information about what recent happenings in school and what may likely happen next.

Staying in school hostel as a fresher helps you balance your time as compared to staying off campus. It gives you timely information and the opportunity to quickly do what is needed.

You may want to check why students prepare for an exam but still fails it.

4. INCREASES ZEAL TO LEARN
Staying in school hostel as a fresher increases your passion for learning.

There are different kinds of persons you will meet in the hostel of which some are reading enthusiast.

The number of students you will meet in the hostel and the way some are reading enthusiasts will serve as a motivation to read.

You just feel a great competitive environment for learning.

5. LESS OPPOSITE SEX DISTRACTION
This is one reason you have to stay in the school hostel till you are more acquainted with the school system.

One of the biggest distractions students face in school is the one that comes from the opposite sex. Most freshers are practically leaving home for the first time and coping with the reality of staying alone and answering your own calls is not an easy task.

Freshers get easily influenced when they meet any opposite sex that tend to show them little care or support and easily gets manipulated. You should know what I mean!

When you stay in the school hostel, you meet a lot of other students in your hostel who can help you out with no hidden agenda.

School hostel is very important. You may be thinking what difference does it make when you are no more a fresher, well, when you are no more a fresher, the anxiety and pressure you face when you come to school newly are no longer there.

This, in turn, makes it almost impossible for you to be easily deceived by gibberish postulation by any opposite sex.

6. NO TV/ ZEE WORLD
There is no TV/Zee World that could act as a distraction to you. You only get to watch TV in the common room and am not sure you are at will to change the channel as you would want because you are not the only one watching it.

7. IT HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND YOURSELF BETTER
So many freshers when they come to school first, they get so confused and don’t even know how to manage their time. Some don’t know how to manage their time when the study for an examination.

You see them getting confused about when to cook when to sleep when to rest etc. This is a really big challenge that it often affects freshers academically.

Staying in the school hostel helps you manage your time properly. Some students even go to night class and find it hard to even cope with their classes afterwards.

When you stay in the school hostel, these things won’t affect you much because you always see other students and even your coursemates to help and guide you through the rigmarole.

8. IT GIVES EASY ACCESS TO COURSEMATE
Staying in school hostel gives easy access to coursemates. This, in turn, helps you with information about what happens in your department.

It also helps you get access to study materials and probably get a reading partner or someone you can ask questions.

9. LIGHT AND WATER
It depends largely on the country where the school is located.

In some parts in Africa where there is no constant electricity, they try to provide Universities with light and water. This serves as a big advantage to while you should stay in the school hostel as a fresher.

10. EASY ACCESS TO FOOD, ATMS ETC
There are days when you may be too tired to cook, you can get food right in your hostel without having to walk out of your hostel.

This saves you time and energy. It’s also very affordable too.

These are things you don’t get off campus.

You also get easy access to the ATM at any time because it’s still within the school.
