Hostel Life of a FASTian.

University usually requires moving to a different town, city or state. Many first-year student at FAST University find themselves in an unfamiliar environment that take getting used to. Students will need to adapt to living in a dorm room, to cook for oneself, to save money and deal with a daily commute. This is the first true transition into adulthood, when you are in a position where the student can no longer depend on parents, siblings and friends.

Undoubtedly, the life in a hostel is different from that of the home. First of all, the greatest blessing of hostel life is independence. AS you may sleep whenever you like. You may get up late in the morning but none will question you. Secondly, apart from the general rules and regulations, which are to be followed necessarily by everyone, one is his own master. It is due to this reason that many students do not like to go home even in long vacations. Those who love freedom love the hostel life.

In contrast, hostel life with its so many advantages has some drawbacks also. Students coming for the first time to a hostel, find entirely new atmosphere. The freedom of the hostel leads them astray. They fail to choose good companions. The unlimited freedom proves harmful for such students.


It is clear that much of the usefulness, as well as harmlessness of hostel life depends upon its management. A badly managed hostel is bound to spoil the lives of its inmates. A well-managed hostel is sure to prove a blessing for those who are lucky enough to live in it.
