TOEFL Writing practice I think that living in a dormitory is better for students than living in a private apartment. I have two reasons: convenience and c ooperativeness. The students in a dormitory go to school easier than in a private apartment because a dormitory is usually near the college. In result, it costs lesser to go to school too. Additionally, the students in a dormitory can get the ability to cooperate with friends that live in the same dormitory. I think the ability to cooperate with others is the most important for students. A people can not do something without the cooperation of the others. Living in a dormitory with the friends can train this skill. However, living in a dormitory sometimes limits the student's activity. There are some rules the students should obey. They may feel ill at ease. Despite this disadvantage, living in a dormitory is better for the students than living in a private apartments.
