Norms, I'll always like to acknowledge #HiveGhana for the opportunity to share my experience across the wonderful memebers in yhe community....my greetings to y'all.
Immediately after my secondary school i was in such a hurry to further my education into the university as soon as possible ,like i really had anticipations for how the university life was ,i had heard a lot of stories,some made me scared while others made me anxious but regardless i still wanted to be part of the system.
Finally a year after my secondary school education i was enrolled in a university which i would have loved to disclose but don't think i will for decency sake...wow Bem is now a university student,in a way i knew what to expect with regards the stress,i kinda knew it'll be overwhelming so that wasn't really what came to my consciousness yet,my first thought was "would i stay in the college hostel on camp or off camp?".
I had to really take time and meditate on this because i was actually a boarding school student and my experience as a boarder with regards the hostel idea wasn't funny ,like it was terrible for real...i never wanted to stay in yhe hostel but then never wanted to stay off with a family relative,well this part of it wasn't a problem cause i never really had a family relative where my school was located.
Finally i made my decision,i was an off-campus student cause i felt more comfortable this way, at this point i had not gone to even check out the male hostels on camp,when i decided to take a look into it i discovered i had made the wisest decision in my life...
The hostel never looked like what i would have survived in for a semester...
I really love to maintain my space and then the hostel rooms were housing a number of three to four persons per room. If we are to be real that number is too much for a room.so it was a turn off for me.
Here's one thing I'll be sincerely agree with, living in school hostels in a way limits stress , here's why i say so ;you get to live within school premises so its easier to access classes and lectures unlike when you're living off camp ,to make it worse when you aren't so close to school,it becomes tasking to reach out to lectures...
What's my final decision? I still choose off camp accommodation,its more convenient for me ,you know the peace of not having to share a room with people of different characters and personalities which you might not really be in alignment with is all i seek and my decision gave me.
Hope y'all had a nice time knowing my experience with regards this topic.You can do well to add your brief opinions in the comments section....thank you and do have a nice day ahead.
