Compare and contrast living at home and in the dormitory(Final)

I have been living in the dormitory ever since I graduated from junior high school. There are many differences between living at home and living in the dormitory. The advantages of living at home include saving money on three meals and seeing your parents everyday. In comparison, the advantages of living in the dormitory include studying with your classmates and having a social life on campus. However, there ar some disadvantages of living in the dormitory, For example, I hate to hear music around me when I am sleeping or studying. Nevertheless, whether you regard both of the living environment as an advantage or disadvantage all depends on your perceptions and preferences.
