Do u think living in campuses during the studying time is a goOd & benifitical experiance for the teens??? Especially we are in the Arab countries the guys/girls stay with their families till they get married & have no private life away from them??
What do you think about it & Y??

I don't think that it's a bad idea. Living on campus would definitely be more convenient than living off-campus. The distance wouldn't be very big from accommodation --> class and I think that's the most important thing.

Also, campuses are usually safer than having your own place or apartment.

As for privacy, I'm not completely sure. You don't get all the privacy and space you need -- you'll still probably end up sharing with someone, but if you want to get away from family and prying individuals, then I guess it's not a bad idea.

In general it's a good idea for people who study away from their families, and they can't go home everyday coz of the distance. The studant will concentrate more on his/her study and use uni. facilities like library, etc in a better way.

My only concern is about wierd girls who are looking for other girls to make relations with them utilizing the exisiting environment inside the campuse like sharing one room.

Also another problem is the use of drugs in such places and transfer it from a studant to another.

Living on campus is a great & fun experience!! I wouldn't trade it for the world!
You learn to become independent away from your parents... you meet many people & it enhances your social activities!!

Indeed it is a good experience in which u have a chance to shape

ur personality and be independent … it also teach u the sense of

responsibility and how to depend on ur self as u r far from ur

family …

On the other hand I agree with what Ice Tea said… such

problems rise in this kind of environment and u have to be very

careful and aware of them…

I think it's a good experience, though living alone isn't bad either. But when you're abroad and away from your family, you tend to feel home-sick and lonely, so it would be goot to mix with other people which will help you feel like you're home. Besides it's a great way to get to meet people and get to know them more, gives you the chance to know about the different cultures, I'm definitly with it!

This is was my aim from this thread, to know if the unlimited freedome for students they get in the Campuses especially they are away from their families eyes, affect them & their behaviour in a bad way or it builts their own personality & help them to be confidence??

Well there are pros and cons to everything. Like when you talk about living abroad and in campus and the amount of freedom you get being away from your family, many tend to misuse it and take the wrong path and get into trouble, so it really depends on how much you can trust the person to be living abroad and to be taking such a big responsibility. To others it's a way of widening their horizons, and they get the chance to experience the real life, after depending on their parents for so long.

Good that I was able to read what is in your mind sister :)

So the point is, yes it's good to live there but there should be some kind of supervision and not to let the thread open espacialy for girls. I know for example in SQU that girls not allowed to go out after 10 o'clock PM and also for a girl to go out she need a permission, which is a good kinda of control.

Get away, get out! Live on campus for the first year to get used to it while you have the advantage of security and company of people in the same position. Then maybe in the second year, get out, get yourself an apartment with a couple of friends and live a little!

People in their twenties who have no idea how to look after themselves are pretty disadvantaged in life. Experience your freedom, make some mistakes and learn something. If you're going to stay tied to mother's apron-strings all your life, then you may as well stay in diapers too.

Well said mimo, couldn't add anything more, I wish I could leave the country to get more experience, I'm just waiting to finish so I can go abroad and learn more things.

salaam all
i like the subject,,,from my experience from living in compus, it's a wonderful one.You don't have to go outside the country to have that, as IT said SQU is a good example. you know as many people as you can and as different as you imagine.I don't know why he is worrying too much about girls living together i don't see this a major problem.the problem in compus is the privacy if you have to share your room with another person, imagine two totally different people living together,tidy &untidy, one who wants to sleep early and another who likes to be awake till late,,, etc here would be a problem but when you remember the conflicts after 6 or 7 years it becomes something funny and good.

el7ilwa, nice topic to talk about and since i've just experienced that and may do that again the coming season..i thought i may add few lines to what ppl said above.

I think living in campuses is good since you'll learn so many things like..how to live with others(different nationalities), exchange knowledge/experiences and for security reasons as well. Like the university i'm they do provide a 24hrs reception at the halls of residence + they do have security patrols with well trained dogs.

I also find it very convenient in my case because you dont have to bother about bills and you pay everything at once, then use(power supply+heating) as much as you like;).

One more thing..when IceTea mentioned about those girls looking for girls and drugs..i'd just say..it depends on the person herself and how she has been raised..such stuff can be found everywhere..i'm just suprised that they do put more than one person per room!!!

good idea to live on campus, save time and money for transportaion.

I think it is good advice. When you experience your freedom you will DEFINITELY make so many mistakes - and the good thing is, most people would learn from these mistakes.

Thanx rafia & KING_OF_ALL 4 sharing that with us :)

Well Mimz... Well said... I'm 20...I've been living alone for 2 years now... Its amazing, not easy, but definetly worth it..

Independent person...sure.. You learn to stand up for yourself, take care of yourself.. You learn to be responsible..
Sure things might slip out of hand for a while, but the best part is succeeding in getting things under YOUR control again..

LOL! I know I've shared alot of my wild stories with you Mimo!
Some funny stuff,when I look back at it.. :)

Cheerz..

If you live alone... Don't abuse it..Learn from it!
