Way to Live

     Probably many students who go to Hiroshima University live alone near the university. Most of my friends do so, because there are many students from prefectures other than Hiroshima. However, some students from Hiroshima Prefecture are living alone, because the place where Hiroshima University was established is not a good place. Hiroshima University is located in a difficult place to go from outside Higashihiroshima City.

     I live in Hiroshima City with my family and go to Hiroshima University from there. It takes about 2 hours to go from home to university. To get to Higashihiroshima City, I must take a high-speed bus or a train. If you use the express bus, you can go to the university for less time than the train, but I use a train because a train is cheaper. I need to change trains once. Then I take the train to Saijo Station,but Hiroshima University is not near the station. This is very inconvenient. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to go to the university from the station by bicycle. I want Hiroshima University to have been built in Hiroshima city. Even if not, I want it to have been built near the station.

     As you can see, living alone is a very wise choice. However, living at home with family has several advantages. To begin with, you can reduce the cost of living. By eating the same meal with family, you can spend less money on buying ingredients and cooking. If you and your family are in the same room, you can reduce your electricity bill. In addition, you can feel secure by living with your family. If you live alone, you often feel lonely or anxious. However, if you live at home with family, there is always your family at home when you go home. And You can talk with your family whenever you want to.

     Living at home has both of good and bad points, and living alone also does so. In conclusion, I think you should live as you want to.
