Can college students rent a house off campus?
In recent years, the number of college students has increased year by year, and the number of people coming to Beijing for postgraduate entrance examination, TOEFL, further study and short-term training has increased day by day, which makes many colleges and universities obviously overloaded in providing accommodation for students. According to the statistics of Market Research Center, at present,13 of graduate students in Xinjiang have chosen to rent a house off campus, and the remaining 40% also have the desire to rent a house off campus, which is still on the sidelines for various reasons. As far as some developed countries are concerned, at least 60% local students and foreign students choose to rent a house around the school and take the form of day school; Only 40% students choose apartments or dormitories provided by the school. In addition, there are various forms for foreign college students to rent a house, such as living alone, sharing, and homestay (that is, students live with elderly people from empty-nest families abroad or landlords with vacant rooms at home), which can meet the different requirements of college students.

At present, many colleges and universities in China still stick to the traditional "nanny-style" discipline, and the students' life problems are all the responsibility of the school. The president of a famous university in Xinjiang once complained: "I have to take care of everything except the crematorium." He said: Nowadays, many colleges and universities in China seem to run not only education, but also society. This has led to a heavy burden on domestic universities. In addition to being responsible for students' daily study, they should also pay for students' food, accommodation, transportation, medical care and entertainment, and all aspects should be considerate of students. At present, the campuses of many colleges and universities in China have become a small society, but the real purpose of running a school is ignored, which makes it difficult for colleges and universities to concentrate their energy and financial resources on talent training and scientific research and development, and to improve their teaching and scientific research level.

Suppose we change our thinking, can we imitate the management mode of host families in foreign schools, that is, strictly manage host families and organically combine school education with social training, so that we can not only reduce the burden on schools through social forces, but also cultivate the comprehensive quality and ability of college students, which is conducive to the all-round development of personality. Why should we limit or even eliminate this new thing? At present, the phenomenon of college students renting houses off campus in China is more like an update and reform of the concept of alternating old and new. Experts predict that this is the inevitable result of the development of higher education in the future and will also be the trend of social progress in the future.

Second, the living conditions on campus are not satisfactory, and the demand for renting houses has increased.

The upsurge of renting houses for college students first began in the 1990s. In recent years, the number of college students renting houses has been expanding and thriving. Divided into four schools: 1, the only-child school: at present, more than half of college students are only children, and their family economic conditions are superior. Individuals are relatively rich, breaking through their parents' wings and wanting to experience an independent life. 2. Individualism: Many college students are new and new human beings and advocate individuality. The living space in the school dormitory limits their unique study and life style. 3. Academic school: Some students need to take the postgraduate entrance examination, take TOEFL, GRE, or prepare to study abroad. It is particularly important to have a good study and living space while gilding the sprint study. 4, love school: people in love are as sweet as candied fruit. It is not surprising that I want to be with my relatives and choose to rent a house off campus.

There is a popular saying on college campuses now: "There are three things that I am busy learning in my junior year. I am busy choosing a job, I am busy taking the postgraduate entrance examination, and finally I have to be busy renting a house. " The reason why more and more college students choose to rent off campus is that the accommodation situation of students in some colleges and universities at this stage is really flattering:

First, the accommodation environment is already crowded. At present, there are 6-8 undergraduates in the university dormitory. There are 4-6 graduate students living in one room, and this crowded living condition is difficult to ensure students' normal study and rest; Secondly, the rigid rules of school boarding management often conflict with the reasonable needs of students. Power failure on time (even the electric fan can't be used in hot nights), water shortage from time to time (bathing is really a problem), not to mention the air-conditioning water heater, which is really hot in winter and has four distinct seasons; Students who love watching TV complain that the school turns off the lights too early every day; Students who like surfing the internet can't be satisfied; Students who "open a small stove" in the dormitory are often caught red-handed, and even the pots and meals are confiscated. Make students and schools often launch "guerrilla warfare";
