Why are the students living at home?

English universities greatly differ from each other. They differ in date of foundation, history, tradition and way of student life. But they have the same problems, which meet students, entering the university. One of these is a problem

of living. Leaving home to go to university is no longer automatic. A pilot study of 2000 students by psychologists at Leeds Univerrsity has found that those staying with their parents are far happier than those living in university halls. Students living in flats are the most dissatisfied, the survey found. But as financial pressures on students increase, many are now concidering living at home.

Staying at home with parents is undoubtedlly cheaper and more comfortable, but do students miss out by doing so? During the first years of studing the thought of living away does not bother students, who live at home. But as time went on they began to see the advantage of being at home. The students who live in hostels have to take part-times jobs to see them through and they always have gas or electricity bills piling up. So that is why students prefer to live at home and have a huge advantage. They have their own space and peace and quiet to work, whereas friends in shared houses say they find it hard to concentrate.
