There is another advantage of hostel life . In a hostel , a student learns to live together . They also learn how to behave with others . Every student has to follow the same rules in a hostel . Thus , students develop a sense of co - operation and fellow - feeling .
Hostel life is a life of joy and freedom . Students choose friends of their choice . There is a good arrangement for games and sports . Thus , students develop healthy habits . Every student develops both his mind and his body . No student can get such facilities at home .
But hostel life has some disadvantages also . Some students who come from home get unlimited freedom in the hostel . Some of them form bad habits . Sometimes they become regular visitors to film shows . Thus , they waste their valuable time , money and energy . They forget the real aim of student life . They neglect their studies . Yet hostel life has its own importance . It makes a student dutiful and responsible .
