I shifted myself from private hostel to government hostel

Hostel is a place where people lives because their school, collage, university or job is far away from home town. There is no restrictions in hostel life. It's all depend on us when we want to wake up, when we want to eat our meal, even everything is in our control.

My hostel life starts when I take admission in university. My university is far away from my home town so it's not possible for me to travel daily. So I have to live in hostel to save myself from this problem. I want to go to government hostel but my some friend scare me by saying that government hostel life is not easy they will take your mobile on 7:00 pm. You have to sleep at 9:00 pm. You have to eat your meal on time even if you don't want to eat it or you don't like meal. You have to take permission from hostel Warden if you want to go out on weekend. The girls in government also don't have manners to how to talk other in short they suggest me to live in a private hostel instead of government hostel. So I choose private hostel over government hostel

Now let's talk about issues I face in private hostel

The first & big issue is no proper time of meal

I know it's a common problem in every hostel. But in other hostels they give late meal sometime because of an emergency like the don't prepared in time because of gas issue. But in our hostel first of all they give 2 time meal (lunch & dinner ) lunch time is 1:30 pm and dinner time is 8:00 pm. And I have to go university at 12:30 pm so I have to skip my breakfast I only eat a single candy as a lunch. Also I wake up at 11:30 am so I don't eat my breakfast means I only survive on a single candy for a whole day. And because of this my stomach issue start and whenever I came home and eat breakfast or lunch my stomach doesn't accept it. And I have to take a lot of pills to digest food.

I lost my 20kg weight in 6 month without doing exercise and dieting. My weight is 68kg when I go to hostel and after 6 month I'm at 48kg.

I don't take classes on proper time

The main campus of our university is near to hostel. It took only 10 min to reach there but my department is in new campus and going to need campus we have to go on a university bus. I know you think what's difficult in it well their is approximately 4000 students of new campus which use busses and the buses are only 6 Or 7. So I don't go in class on time because I had wait for my turn and in Pakistan their is no proper system of anything. Girls & boys don't care about other and try to get seat first and I'm the one who just see them because I don't have guts to fights. But because of this I don't focus on my study properly.

Security issue

You don't believe but I lost my 3 mobiles in hostel I put my mobile on table to charge and I don't know where my mobile gone also the hostel manager clear that they are not responsible of the loss we have to care of our things.

After spending my 1 year in private hostel I gather a lot of information about government hostel and decide to go government hostel

And believe me it is one of my best decision I gave ever make

First let me tell you the advantages of government hostel

1: you don't have to pay high rent every month

In private hostel I had to pay 12000pkr (80$) every months as a rent of everything food, room or electricity I use but in government hostel I save a lot of money of my parents they take 150$ as a rent of 6 month means I approximately save 200$ of my parents by living a government hostel

2: Give meal on time

As you already read because of private hostel meal routine I gave stomach issue because they don't give proper meal on proper time and also the food is tasteless and full of oil. But in government hostel they are totally different they make a proper place where we all sit to eat out meal we almost 300 girls live a hostel at we eat our meal on a same time at same place. I also make a lot of friends while having my lunch. While living in a hostel I never face stomach pain or digestion problem

3: I go to take class on time

So government hostel for girls situated in university and means no need to wait for bus. I easily go to my class on walk because my department is in front of my hostel. So no more stress of going late in class

4: No security issue

Government hostel are not like private they take responsibility of your everything. If you lost your mobile in hostel but at night time. Na dyou prove it that you loss your mobile at hostel they will try to find it on any cost they check each and every corner of hostel in short you and your things are safe in government hostel

I changed my thinking about government hostel

First I think government hostel life is the toughest life when I hear rumors about it. But after living is a hostel I changed my thinking because they all are just rumors. Rules and regulations are important to keep us in manner.

Government hostel rules are simple like we have to write in a entry register where are we going and time of going. We are not allow to go out after 7:00 pm that's it. No other rules. Warden not take my mobile they don't force us to eat food they don't ask to sleep on time. Even I sleep after 1:00 Am because I'm busy I'm enjoying movies with friends on laptop

Government hostel life is easy and full of fun

Closing Thoughts

Take advice from other's but don't take action immediately because may be he/she also don't know about it

If someone say something bad about others ask them for a proof

Don't believe in rumors may be the person is lying to safe himself

If you're new and don't know anything about hostel life. Don't dare to live in a private hostel your life will become hell prefer government hostel over private hostel

Yeah that's how I shift myself from private hostel to government. It's not easy for me to leave my old hostel fiends but I see my comfort I don't stop meeting with them I still meet them but we just not live together ;)
