Hostel or PG: What should a student prefer?

Home is the best school for any first learner and the parents are the teachers. We learn every little thing that helps us for survival and prepares us for unexpected situations. It is the power of knowledge that allows us to live a dignified life and keep control of situations.

Most of us, coming from small backgrounds, tend to relocate to a better place in order to gain an insight into the real world situation. Many others relocate for education and better jobs. While we have a number of options suiting our requirements, it is very important for a student to maintain some personal space and be least distracted from the outside world.

While Paying Guests offer you a comprehensive atmosphere with tenants from diverse work-fronts, a hostel makes sure that you receive what is best suited for you at the moment. In this section, we discuss what stands as the best option for a student learner; A Hostel or a PG Accommodation.

Knowledge and learning

Hostel proves to be the best option when it comes to gaining insights on knowledge and learning something new. Since colleagues or classmates are more precisely from the same knowledge background, students get the chance to exchange ideas and learn new methodologies apt for the field they study in.

No doubt PG’s provide you with a more practical and factual learning experience, people tend to be from diverse platforms in terms of age and preferences. It becomes difficult at this point to learn mainly because of the compromising atmosphere that we are forced to live in.

Discipline

Normally, Hostels provide you with a dedicated warden or attendant that looks after the student and makes sure that they do not face any major problem in the first place. They make sure that harmony is maintained in the premises and any problem is thus avoided for the best living experience.

Unlike Hostels, the environment in PG accommodation is slightly different. Since there is no one to address the issues that a person may face, discipline lacks in most of the PG services. The owners may sometime appoint an attendant but that’s really really rare!

Health Factor

While a PG forces you to get off your bed and travel a couple of kilometers to savor food (unless you like eating cold Tiffin), Hostel undoubtedly aims to provide food and nutrition to the students at a relatively cheaper rate so that the amicability of the students is not disturbed.

Safety and Security

Primary importance given to the safety of students, there is no alternative to a hostel in this regard. Students are provided with personal cupboards and bookshelves for proper organization of their personal belongings. While PGs offer you almost the same facilities that a hostel would provide, there is less scope for personal space as any other person living in the PG may get a chance to access your stuff without prior permission.

Everything said and done, students should find it suitable to live in a hostel than a PG based on the numerous advantages any student would enjoy. As newcomers, a hostel helps them to grow efficiently and with only a little but valuable first effort. So, in my regard, students should definitely focus on moving into a hostel in the first place.
