    Hostels Are Fun, Not Fancy Bed and Breakfast Inns
    I would personally recommend every individual, originating from any background, lineage or age to try out living in a hostel at least one time in their life. Too bold a statement? Well I do not think so. I've been living in a hostel within the last Three years, and expect to do so for next year too. The key reason why I'm being a lot supportive towards this cause happens because no matter bad or good, residing in a hostel gives a person valuable and priceless experiences which equips him/her to manage better with their former lifestyle henceforth. As Mark Twain has correctly stated," We should be careful to get away from an experience only the wisdom that is inside it - and stop there; lest we be like the kitty that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on the hot stove-lid again - and that's well; but additionally she will never sit down on the cold one anymore." Good judgment often comes from experience but experience of itself comes from both good and bad times, and a hostel is a perfect place to start with particularly when one is entering into adulthood.

    After describing about the impact of vandrarhem dormitory living, let me discuss certain benefits and drawbacks of residing in a hostel.

    Pros-

    • Timidity decreases -
    Well, residing in a hostel gives a person enough opportunity to interact with people because within the vandrarhem complex individuals are all around. The individuals who are shy and are unable to connect to others properly on the course of time will have to talk to people at least their roommates for sure. Added to this celebrating festivals, fests and kids birthday parties together fosters relation building and gives an individual ample chance to emerge from its timidity.
    • Interactions -
    For those of us who aren't too shy hostel is a perfect spot to meet people from different regions, backgrounds and walks of life. People from different countries get together and live under a common roof, enabling in a knowledgeable and interactive session.
    • It's Cheap -
    Let's face it guys, residing in a hostel is incredibly cheap, if you leave apart the ultra modern and AC ones. If we talk about the fundamental accommodation with all the requirements needed a hostel is a perfect place. Even the college hostels which all students prefer are comparatively cheaper than living in a rented home or hotel. I too reside in a university hostel, which is a real good place to party!

    Cons-
    • Indulgence in bad things-
    People could be tempted in doing stuff which would harm them over time. Cases of cocaine, ganja, cigarette smoking as well as alcohol consumption happen to be observed in hostels.
    • Insufficient privacy -
    Privacy do gets compromised when living in a hostel. In several hostels individuals have roommates, which reduce privacy even more.
    • Security -
    Sometimes cases of theft are also reported in hostels.

    So, there it is hostel living explained from different viewpoints. One should try residing in a hostel, you should also learn from the mistakes of one and all, and lead a great life ahead.
