After living in the dorms last year, I moved into an apartment in Fountain Circle. We have six girls living in a 3-room, 2-bedroom apartment. Overall, I like my apartment, but sometimes it gets crazy living with 5 other girls. I love how we often have baked goods to share. Another great aspect is I always have someone there to talk to if I’m having a rough time or hang out with if I need a friend. They are all awesome girls, and it is nice to know I always have people around who are willing to help me out and be there for me.
The benefits outweigh the costs, but living with so many other girls can be hard sometimes too. Our kitchen gets really crowded and messy when we are all trying to make dinner at the same time. Also, our bathroom sink and shower get really dirty and covered in hair. I think it is a valuable learning experience to live with a bunch of other people. I signed my lease again and I am planning on living there next year (after studying abroad in Spain). It helps us all to develop patience and selflessness. I think it is preparing me for my future when I will hopefully have a big family.

ReplyDeleteThat's great that you are studying abroad! When are you leaving? You'll have a great time! :-)
ReplyDeleteI live with four other girls, and I agree that it can be hard sometimes because there are so many of us. I also agree that it's a good experience, and I too can always talk to someone if I'm having a rough day. I think it's good to learn how to live with a lot of other people, because I feel it makes you a more well-rounded person.
I agree about living with other people is a life experience and I think that everyone should live with other people once in their life so it can prepare them for living with their future spouse and family if they so choose.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you're getting that kind of social experience. There is so much to be learned. Not just about living and respect and paying fees on time, but also about culture and personality and how each person is shaped by their childhood.
