MM #2 : Review

If you feel uncomfortable to live with others, or if you have had discomforts with your roommate before, it would be helpful to live alone.

There are some Michigan State University students who have decided to live by themselves for the next semester.

Jane Zhang, a student majoring in journalism at MSU, decided to live alone for the next semester. She said she can hang out with her friends in her room without any permission. “Also, I like to take a photograph but, if I live with others, I can’t do things freely,” she said.

Sare Safari, a student majoring in media at MSU, wants to live by herself for the next semester. Safari said, “Living alone means I can have my own privacy.” Also, she said she enjoys loud music, but it would be hard to turn on the music loudly if she lives with roommates.

The preferences for living alone and for living with roommates depend on the value each person is seeking. Because students have to stay for one semester, they have to think carefully and decide. If it is difficult to decide, it is a good idea to consult with housingservices assistants and get advice.
