It is better for college students to live far away from home than living at home with their parents. Do you agree or disagree?

It is generally believed that it is necessary for student life to be spent a distant place from their parents. I agree because accommodation directly influences their life and academic performance.

One good reason to hold this view is that life on campus may be more advantageous for university students. It is undeniable that with the absence of parental care, students seem to have a chance to shoulder almost all the blame for their private life, ranging from doing household chores to managing personal finance, meticulously preparing certain life skills for their later life. In shared accommodation, students might learn how to live and work in harmony with others, giving rise to improvements in social skills.

Another point to consider is that students can accomplish higher academic outcomes by dint of mutual aid and support from friends by sharing learning materials or developing proper study strategies for each other, facilitating their study when sharing the room.

Finally, living with parents during student life can be more disadvantages. In fact, commuting to universities from home daily may deprive various students of a remarkable time which should have been allocated for participating in recreational and extracurricular activities or sports events with a view to enhancing their physical health and develop their teamwork skills or communication competences. This physical stamina and these soft skills are prerequisites for paving the way for academic as well as professional success.

In conclusion, based on the aforementioned explanations, it seems to me that, enjoying campus life far from their parents is a more sensible decision than living under the same roof with their parents.
