subject: The Place Of University/college Towns In Students Social Life [print this page] Students Cooperation Students Cooperation
Student towns are unions of people who live together because of one and only reason: they all study at the university or at the college. It is very convenient as everything in student towns was build taking into account students needs. Student towns are a real advantage in the life of every student as there young people try to help and support each other. Senior students patronize and protect juniors, help them with problems of independent life and routine and problems juniors face while studying. But there is another variant: parting together without a hint on a process of study.
Infrastructure of University or College Town
Infrastructure of university or college town is usually carefully planned so that most of the essential facilities are situated not so far from dormitories. Students have an easy access to shops, libraries, sport halls and swimming pools, cafes and canteens and even to hairdressing salons. Usually there are a lot of pubs, clubs and shopping centers, providing the students with entertainments for a whole day. Different brotherhoods, study societies and hobby groups are inside. A student may stay within the walls of a college or university town all day long. It is a real city but in miniature. A student lives an ordinary social life, learns how to interrelate with other people without moms and dads help, develops his/her personality, and creates strong business or informal bounds for a future. There are all facilities to live, work and have a rest. All you need to live there successfully are common sense, urging towards studying and some money. Responsibility, diligence and sociability are also desirable.
In fact living in a student town is a great opportunity to live an independent life, work and study, find friends and have a pleasant, unforgettable time, especially if a whole town in miniature is build for students.
