Note: university dormitory 大学の寮[寄宿舎]

In Australia, many students who go to university must often leave their home and hometown. Usually they have the choice of either staying in the university dormitory or finding their own apartment and in some cases they may share with a friend or stranger. In Australia most students choose to live with a friend to keep expenses down which often works out really well. When I was a university student, I lived with a Japanese girl for three years. I originally met her at a language club at my university. If you ever have the chance to live overseas for more than a year I would strongly recommend sharing with someone because it is the best way to learn about another culture and you’ll learn to become more independent, too.
