Advantages and disadvantages of living in a PG

 College life is the time when most students in India have to leave the comfort of their homes to live near their campus. While many students look for campus hostel, some have to live as paying guests as PGs near SVC colleges. While the best advantage of this is that one does not need to buy everything from starch as it is well equipped and contains everything for a comfortable stay. Another benefit of living as a paying guest is that students don't have to worry about everything from food to laundry. The level of facilities and comfort depends on the monthly rent. So, sharing double PGfor girls and boys in Delhi and other big cities can be an expensive affair. Let's analyze the various positive and negative points about living in PG:



Advantages of living in PG

1). A more disciplined life: Living as a paying guest requires following certain rules, which is good for students. Due to different rules for going out, partying, chatting and meeting friends, scholars have to spend a large part of the day studying.

2). Home Environment: Most of the PG accommodation in Indian cities focuses on providing comfort, hygiene and high-quality food to every scholar. Generally, a maid is always available to cook the food the student wishes and provide room service.

3). Security: PG hostels are safe for single women and bachelors due to the high security they offer. Most of them provide 24/7 security services, CCTV cameras and security alarms.

Cons of Living in A PG

1). A Sense of Loneliness: While the privacy and peace offered in PG accommodation are advantageous for many, most newcomers might feel depressed by not having anyone to talk to.

2). No Unnecessary Things Are Allowed: Many students have a specific lifestyle and they may find it hard to fit into the new environment of the PG accommodation. Many of these PGs do not allow any other electronic item or gadget in the room. These rules can further escalate the problems for those who live in such PG.
