TAPESCRIPT

1.
I remember talking to my cousin who was about to finish her second
year at university. She’d been staying in the students’ dorm from the
very beginning and had lots of stories for a curious
soon-to-be-a-student me. Being the kind of person who is easily
tempted I was terrified. I couldn’t imagine myself, a diligent girl,
sharing the room with a bunch of crazy fellows and having dozens of
neighbors whose sanity is just as questionable. You know what I mean,
don’t you? All those endless parties, tea breaks which last till the
small hours, lack of silence or any sort of privacy, people coming at
any time they need to borrow your frying-pan, common facilities,
water and electricity cuts, and so on. Well, there are still a number
of things to be added to that list. You can add them without my
modest help.

2.
God’s favour, I never had to live in the dorm. I managed to rent a
flat for myself. Actually it’s hard to say with absolute certainty
whether I should feel lucky avoiding this «fun life».
Despite all inconveniences there is a wide array of advantages to it.
You are never alone; someone is always there not to let you feel
lonely and miserable. A students’ dormitory is a perfect place for
those who want to learn patience, tolerance, coexistence, who want to
be free of any biases, who want to get ready to live in any kind of
society and survive in the most unfriendly environment.

3.
If you didn’t live in a hostel, you were not a real student! A
hostel is a real school of life. While living in a hostel, you can
try yourself in different roles, because you must do everything
yourself, only sometimes with the help of your neighbours. You can be
a carpenter hammering the nails, repairing some pieces of furniture,
locks and so on; a plumber cleaning sinks and locks that were choked
up; an electrician repairing wall outlets and different domestic
devices. You can be a cook, a sewer, and a teacher helping your
junior friends to do their homework. You can even try to be a «big
boss», if you are a head of a section. You have a great number
of opportunities to learn the things that you have never thought you
need. They say that the best teacher is your own experience. And
don’t think that life in a hostel is a constant struggle for
surviving. It is a merry atmosphere of students’ life. You are among
the friends who are always ready to help you and share with you both
their meal and their knowledge.

4.
As I live in a flat, I’ve got a sketchy idea about students’ life in
a hostel. But from my friends’ complaints about it I can conclude
that life is difficult there.

In
the hostel you will find neither luxury nor superb accommodation,
just the necessary things: plain furniture, central heating, running
cold and hot water, electricity. In every room there live two or
three people. If you find the room very cramped for living, you can’t
but resign yourself to the inevitable. There’s no telephone, no gas
(as there are electric cookers in the hostel). If electricity is cut
off, you won’t be able even to warm up your food (if there is any).
You can’t be independent here: you have to share a kitchen, a toilet,
and a bath with several people. And there-is one more problem — how
to organize your study time. It seems that the time is slipping away
here. You are constantly distracted by drop-in visitors, whom you
have to deal with and it’s rather difficult to tackle your daily
tasks. From the previous considerations I conclude that living in the
hostel is not a piece of cake. To survive in these awful conditions
you have to be smart, energetic, efficient and hardy. And if you can
afford to be independent in your own self-contained place, avoid
living in the hostel.

5.
Living at a hostel … well, for me it’s, first of all, living among
people, like in a small town. Here you have its own administration
and its population: your neighbours and some strangers. Corridors are
like streets that link separate apartments with their own secrets.
Every student who lives here has duties and rights. You get cheap
lodging and new friends but you can’t come late, otherwise you’ll
sleep outside, and you have to get along with your new enemies.

As
students of all the years live together you get a unique opportunity
to come into notes on various subjects, drafts of research work,
textbooks and sound advice whenever you need it.

At
a hostel the big students’ family usually gather on special occasions
such as formal and informal holidays. You will be amazed by the wide
range of parties. Students’ imagination gives birth to
carnival-masquerades, discos, concerts, competitions and so on.
Surely, you won’t get bored, but … you can fail your exams or
something like this if you have them the next day as you might not
have even a petty chance to learn the subject or at least to prepare
cribs. It’s common known that it is easier to overcome hardships all
together. So in the evening a small group of students make their way
in corridors (it is quite possible that the electricity was cut off)
to bathrooms Ю
wash before going to sleep. When they reach their destination, it
might appear that wafer was cut off, so … c’est la vie.

But
anyway you’ll get valuable experience of living on your own, without
parents’ support. Whether it tempers or overwhelms, it depends
utterly on the person.
