your preferences and needs
1. As for your first question, I think living alone is becoming more popular among students
in many countries, as more students are choosing to study away from their hometowns or
countries.
2. It can be lonely, as you may miss the social interaction and support that comes from
living with others. Living alone can also make it harder to make friends or join activities on
campus or in the community3.
It can be expensive, as you have to pay for the rent, utilities, groceries, and other expenses
by yourself. Living alone can also limit your housing options, as you may have to look for
smaller or less convenient places that fit your budget3.

a fire, a break-in, or a health issue. Living alone can also make you more vulnerable to
crime or harassment, especially if you live in a bad neighborhood or don’t have good
security measures.

opportunities and reasons for students to study away from home. Some of the factors that
contribute to this trend are: The globalization of education, which allows students to access
more information and options for studying abroad or in different institutions.
The individualization of student choices, which reflects the growing preference and
expectation of students to pursue their own interests, goals, and values

with work, bills, or taxes./Children have more curiosity and creativity than
adults. They are eager to learn new things and express themselves
freely./Children have more fun and play than adults. They enjoy simple

happiness, but in different ways. Spirituality can help us find meaning and
