Living in university housing vs. living in the community

Students at universities often have a choice of places to live. They may choose to live in university dormitories, or they may choose to live in apartments in the community. In my opinion, it is a better idea to live in university housing. I think there are more advantages.  

First of all, I think it is more convenient to live in campus. You need not worry about the traffic every day. Especially if your university campus is located in downtown, you should think about the traffic jam when you go to your classroom. And it still costs you a lot of time on the road. On the contrary you can utilize it to improve you grade. Living in campus still can increase your opportunities to participate many activities held in campus. You will have more spare time to take it and it is very convenient for those students living in campus.  

Another benefit is more safe to live in campus. Traffic accidences occurs everywhere and every day. If you spend two hours every day on the road, you should be very careful when driving. That is a dangerous work.  

Finally, I still think it`s helpful for me to improve my verbal English skill. If you live in campus, you have many opportunities to make more friends in cafeterias, in dormitories, and in playgrounds. When you contact with each other, you should listen and speak. It will improve your verbal English quickly. On the contrary, if you live in an apartment in the community, maybe you even do not know your neighbors because most people living in apartment have their family. After hard work, they spend their spare time with their family.  

To conclude, it is a valuable experience to live in campus. It can help you live an easy, safe and wonderful life.
