First, dorms are certainly more convenient when it comes to getting to and from classes. Therefore, it would appear that dorms are a more convenient alternative for students. However, getting to and from class is only one concern for the average college student. College students living at home will probably be able to eat home-cooked meals without leaving their residences to do so, have access to private washers and driers, and easier parking access. Therefore, depending on the length of a commute, living at a home may actually be more convenient and provide a student with more free-time than living at a dorm. Once again, one must consider a particular scenario to determine convenience for a student.
The final factor to consider is privacy; dorm rooms offer students more privacy from their families, while living at home may permit students more privacy in their bedrooms. For many students, the move to college marks the beginning of adult life, and living in a dorm room is an important step towards independence from the family unit. Living in a dorm room certainly provides a student with a greater sense of privacy from the family. However,...
For a student that has come from a background of having his or her own bedroom, this sharing space can feel like a tremendous invasion of personal privacy. Moreover, an invasive roommate can hamper privacy much more than a permissive family. Therefore, one must look at a particular home scenario and a proposed roommate to determine which scenario would be more advantageous for student privacy.
As one can see, the decision whether to live at home or in a dorm room is a complex one, and the three main differences in living at home or living in a dorm are expense, convenience, and privacy. There is no easy formula to determine which particular scenario is best for an individual student. Instead, one must consider the individual factors of each proposed living scenario to determine which one is best for the individual. Looking at cost, convenience, and privacy, one can make an honest determination which scenario is best in each category. Then, the student must determine which of those factors is most important for the student, and make a decision about the living situation.

One author once wrote, "It is but fair to say that America is not a land of one race or one class of men. We are all Americans that have toiled and suffered and known oppression and defeat, from the first Indian that offered peace in Manhattan to the last Filipino pea pickers...." (Wesling, 2007, p. 55). Wesling went on to quote Bulosan as saying, " America is also the nameless

But gradually, it became clear to her that the Viet Cong were not the only combatants perpetrating bloodshed and violence -- injustice was manifest on both sides. The sheer number of American casualties was overwhelming, and many of the cases deemed hopeless received no care at all, because of limited medical supplies. Doctors and nurses were so weary during the nonstop work of treatment and surgery they could hardly stand.
