By getting through the word hostel, one thing that obviously strikes to the mind is that the student must be in hostel being in a school or college for distance studying.
Apart from studying inside the four walls of hostel, many things we fall across the things, like making friends, making memories, exploring limits (i hope You can relate to this)
Being a medical student, i have always been in hostel: Experience
starting with my preparation for medical entrance till getting into the medical college and becoming a medico, hostel became an indigenous part of my life. And i assure you that this same is the case of many students all over this universe.
But the differing part is that our parents and relatives think that their child is in some kind of paradise. He is surrounded by studious peeps, and all the time we do only studying.
But the revealing truth is that most of the time we doctors rather than studying is we do partying! bitter truth. lol! don't u think so?
Now comes the basic question what does this word "hostel" bring to mind?
The answer will depend on whether you have stayed in one or not.
There are certain misconceptions about hostels that come with the territory. this misconceptions are every where, you cannot generalize things that some hostellers do party all the times, and having other ironical situations that many of us are bookworms in the hostel of medicos.
But that isn't the truth, one can encounters different backpackers in premises of hostel so called hostelites
Stereotypes that you can consider to good to be true
might sound that illusive to you, but here you make best of the relations, that is the best friendships!
Friends over here you make are the ones you are sleeping with, playing with, eating with, sharing emotions with, and the main partying with.
being a hostellers right from birth, i can assure you that being here your prospect towards life will get a completely different dimensions added
and this stereotypes can somewhere be in reality and somewhere it will not, we all know that but being a stereotype, trends continue to change every time. Am i right?
