Should Students Live On Campus?

Earlier I mentioned a little about the layout of my dorm room. Now, here is the full version. When you come into the dorm, each set up on the right and left are basically the same. The closets are against the same wall as the door in separate corners. On top of my closet is a big black stereo, most of the time I have some type of R&B or Neo Soul coming from the speakers. My roommate has the TV and DVD player on top of her closet. Recently we watched the MTV Music Awards on it. Moving right along to our microwaves, which are located on separate walls, one of them in sitting on the refrigerator and the other is on two storage bins. All of my laundry items are at the foot

Numerous studies all over the world have made assumptions about the academic performance of students staying on campus in residences and those who travel to campus every day. Some studies suggest that those students who live in campus residences tend to have an advantage over those who don’t (Peterson, 1975). The following review based in related literature will strive to be as thorough as possible about the chosen topic and problems.

One thing students lose when they decide to dorm is privacy. They have to share a bedroom, bathroom, and living space with other students. Some students have no experience sharing a room with another human being, and the transition can be frustrating at times. Studying is difficult

As a college student, I feel as if in each dorm room should consist of a bathroom with a shower, sink, and toilet. Each dorm should have their own bathroom because it would be more sanitary than sharing a bathroom with 10 or more people every day. Schools should extend dorm rooms by taking out the public bathrooms that way they can expand the rooms to fit the bathrooms. It would also be more convenient to students because they wouldn't have to rush to be the first one in the shower in the morning it would be right there in the room. You also won't have to worry about dirty showers or hair stuck in the drains. To get this put into place students could start a petition for this to happen and if we have enough hopefully the school will take it into consideration. This would be the best solution because students would feel more comfortable using a bathroom in their room it could make

As an only child, I adore personal space. I grew up never sharing a bedroom or bathroom, never fought with anyone over the remote control nor shotgun in the car. When I received my roommate assignment, I will admit that I cringed. Stuck in a triple, I imagined a dark, cramped room with all three of us living on top of each other. When I arrived at school, the room did not match my nightmares and I thought all was well. The first two nights of school, I slept alone in the room, as one roommate stayed at a hotel with her parents and the other had a horse show out of town. The mini-fridge is right across from my bed and the electronic glow of the clock ruined my

Students receive free public education from pre-k to 12th grade, so why should students have to pay for college? College can be a huge expense, and many loans have to be taken out to pay for their education. Is this right? If high school is free then why isn’t college? According to student support organization College Board, published tuition fees for 2014/15, state colleges are an average of US$9,139 for state residents, and $22,958 for everyone else. This compares to an average of $31,231 at private non-profit colleges. Why is it so expensive, unlike in some places where it’s free.

Most of us are 18 and older; which means that we are legal and considered to be grown adults, if we wanted to we could go and buy our own living space without anyone telling us who we can have come spend the night or what times they can come and go especially when we are paying to stay there just as we would if we purchased our own living space. If we had purchased our own place to stay wherever that would be I’m sure that there will be rules that we would have to abide by as well, which is fine but if we didn’t abide by those rules we would most likely be kicked out and that’s how our campus visitation rules should be regulated. Also if the school can trust the upper classmen housing with no visitation limitations then they should at least try to trust the freshmen housing with no limitations on

When paying large amounts of money, most people like to get the most out of what they pay for. Students all across the country pay thousands of dollars to live on campus housing in educational institutions. At Valdosta State University, there are nine residential halls on campus with most of them being freshman dorms. The on-campus housing follows a strict policy that states only two people can be checked in per student. Many students agree that there should be more than two people who are allowed to check in at any of the given halls here on campus. The dorms should allow at least four people to be checked in at a time by each resident student. There could be a cap to the capacity at four, but that is a reasonable number as to how many people can come hangout in each dorm.

The dorms are apartment style with four private bedrooms and shared living space and kitchen. Dorms are gender specific and there are complexes for housing married couples. Housing for fraternities and sororities are lodge style. Approximately 64% of students reside in on-campus housing. The campus is also home to academic halls, administration center, several sports fields, an indoor swimming pool, two dining halls, and a wellness center. The university has guest housing available for visiting family members and

They always seem to choose to live in the dorms the first year. The main reason for this is to focus on school and be close to their classes for the first year. Typically, college students do not know their costs of living in the area and have no way of estimating it because they have lived with their parents their whole life. So, they just agree to pay the dorms tremendously high living expenses. The university of Kansas State is completely taking advantage of this opportunity of students living in the dorms. The university is taking in over 29 million dollars according to their projected revenue statement for this coming year of 2018 (Housing Budget 2018). With this much coming in just for the dorms and they do not even bother renovating the 1980’s style rooms which are very complex and typically put two people to one room and they share a bathroom with their sweet mates, and yet they continue to pile as many kids in there, to bring in as much money as possible in to the housing department at Kansas State (K-State Housing Website). Students do not even think twice about where else and how much cheaper it would be to live in off campus housing and just agree to pay the over-priced dorms and put their first year of living on their student loans. This causes the students to start out college in twice as much debt, that could be avoided if the university would lower the costs of living on campus.

Every year, thousands of people move to the United States from all over the world to play sports. According to the district they threatened to flunk sports down because they were rolling to cause financial problems and it would cut the cost of equipment. Therefore, schools should not have sports because they can cause district's financial problems, academic failures and students will not have the proper rooms to teach.

A dormitory may consists of two to three other individuals in a room whereas if a person works, attends college lectures, or even a college football games they would have communicated with more than three people apart from their roommates in daily life. For example, students might need to talk to each of their professor (who are all different ) regarding class work or course materials, converse with other students while preparing a group presentation, or debate with students during a class discussion who all have opposing viewpoints on certain subject.

In addition, each bay only has 5 rooms. Each room holds 5 to 6 students, with 3 bunk beds in each room. It is hard to sleep or study when there are that many people in the room. People play music loudly, to the point where a person can’t study because of the music or someone shaking the bed. Not only does this make it hard, but we also have to deal with people stealing items from other students.

Dorm life at Graceland University includes rooms that are roughly 12ft x 10ft in dimension with two twin size beds, two dressers, two desks, one small closet and above storage space. We have bathrooms per floor including 3-8 toilets, sinks, and showers. Now this description is only for the Tess Morgan building, Walker Hall includes, to my knowledge, much bigger rooms with two twin beds, two dressers, two desks, and two wardrobes and a personal sink. Every hall also includes two bathrooms per hall with about 3 toilets, sinks, and showers for each. The biggest differences between Tess Morgan and Walker is that Walker is only home to two halls of women, compared to Tess Morgan which is home to seven halls, Walker also has an elevator and air

When children receive participation trophies they are praised for their efforts rather than the work towards their mistakes. Children will not be fully prepared for the future by allowing them to receive trophies, the children begin to think that all they have to do for a reward is to show up and not put any effort. For example, “In college, those who’ve grown up receiving endless awards do the requisite work, but don’t see the need to do it well” (NY Times). These college kids have many trophies and they received them mainly for being in the activity or club that they participated in. The effect of all the trophies given were that the college students do not complete their assignment and job to the fullest. They stay at a level where it is
