Chikki! Do you prefer to stay in hostel ya fir ghar pe? I have never stayed in a hostel but yea I did stay in a rental apartment with roommates when I first came to the US for studying 😃 I loved it! The independence that comes along with it and that sense of freedom and satisfaction cannot be defined! Though you miss family but living on your own is also an experience to treasure!
It is a great experience actually. We learn a lot if things and it gives a huge confidence boost managing everything on your own. I was 20 when I started living in hostel and despite being able to come home on weekends easily, I was very homesick the first 2months. Then once I was over that phase, I enjoyed a lot- friends, roommates, chatting till late night, studying together 😆
Now in second year I am sharing rooms with seniors and that is a different kind of experience altogether- a good one though
