Which do You Prefer, Sharing a Room with a Stranger

or Living by Yourself?

There are always two aspects to any situation. Sharing a room with a

stranger while studying in a university or college has its advantages and

disadvantages.

It is true that studying requires peace and quietness. A stranger who

shares a room with you may disturb you. Your thoughts can be interrupted

by his sudden return, or by his asking for a light, or merely by his cough

or sneeze. At night, when you want to sleep, he may be tossing in bed,

making enough noise to keep you awake. If the stranger is bad tempered,

he may quarrel with you, and yet you must have patience. However, there

are many positive aspects of sharing a room with a stranger. First, you

will not feel lonely although you are far away from your home. You always

have another person in the room to share you in your joys and sorrows.

Second, you and your roommate can help each other. Whatever difficulty

you are in, you can get a helping hand to overcome it. If the person you

live with is older than you are, you may derive advice from him on your

work and study. Third, living with a stranger offers you a chance of

learning to get along with people. Since you have to live with a stranger

for quite a long period, you will do your best to make friends with him.

If you are successful in gaining his confidence, it means you may also

be successful in the more complicated and competitive society.
