STUDENT LIFE

As soon as my brother by the university in a town 200 km away from home, he had to decide whether to request university accommodation or share a flat with friends. He talked to other people who had studied away form home and they all recommended a flat because of the greater freedom he would have. After moving, he embarked on a new life in which he suddenly became fully responsible for himself.

The is that at first I didn't believe he would manage on his own for very long. I thought he would be coming home every weekend with loads of washing and the flat would end up really filthy. How surprised I was when I went to visit him and realised that gaining from our parents was doing him good. It made him a mature person able to cope with everyday chores perfectly well.
