Yesterday I moved out of my dorm and now I am in an apartment rent by 4 girls including me.This is the first time for me,thus it gives me a sense of novelty. The reason why I want to live off campus is that I think the dorm is too noisy and I couldn't preserve my privacy.I can't have my personal space there;the environment there makes a person lazy. Now in this apt,I have my own room and enough space to dispose my stuff.The only problem is,the cost.The cost will stimulate me to try my best to win scholarship . Meanwhile,I will seek opportunities to earn money. Whst do you think of this issue.or do you think I've made a right decision.or would you like to share some of your experience?

Hi Aki, as Indians we have always been kept too much protected by our parents and have never been to be much indipendent. The same thing happens when u r in a hostel or a dormitory of ir institute. The moment u step out into the real world, u see how nsecured u r and so many problems around. Trust me...just be cool and enjoy. Combat the problems everytime it comes and u will see urself happier. U will learn everything from here and be much more adjusting. I am there too so we can be friends too and maybe discuss any problem and i guess it would be great out there, Let me know ur experiences.

I moved out for a better environment for my studys.However,I have as well consider the other 3 girls.As a result,this whole day I have nothing related with studys.They bought a lot of stuff and cooking... what I need is quietness;nobody disturbs me and I am completely on my own.After all,I do not live here for comfort or enjoyment and have no intention to stay with them all the time.I need "loneliness". Alas,life won't go on as my desires.We could never get rid of harassment

I understand Aki that as student u do need to have the right environment to concentrate. Wit friends its a bit tough unless all r interested to study. Just try to be a bit stern and study, because afterall u have to live for urself and no one would be beside u if something went wrong. I dont mean to say ur friends are bad, but there is usually a lot of selfishness that comes in. God bless u and hope u really do well in ur studies and flourish in life.
