Living in the dormitory or not

Before I become a college student, I don’t want live in the dormitory, because I think it is troublesome. We must wash our clothes, buy our three meals, sleep in the small bed, and can’t watch TV we want to watch, but now I think it is ok.
Living in the dormitory, we can learn how to be independent. Because parents will not ask you do this or do that, you have to do anything by yourself. For example, nobody will ask you put out the garbage, but if you don’t do that, your bedroom will smell terrible.
Another benefit of living in the dormitory is that you can stay at school until you want to leave. In other the word, you can participate in activities and don’t be afraid of that you will go home too late.
