Importance Of Community Living During Your Stay In A PG/Hostel

You must have seen your folks rolling over with laughter when they sit down with their old friends from their stay in PGs or hostel life decades ago. Or if not that, you must have seen the sparkle in their eyes when they tell you stories of their good ol’ hostel days, isn’t it? Yep. And that’s the sparkle you should have too, years after you have left your PG or hostel. But here’s the thing, you can’t just experience that without feeling like you’re a part of a community. The kind that’s always got your back.

And btw, that’s also the kind of community you get at our Stanza Living residences with curated community programs, events, and festival celebrations. Because not only do you get to chill with like-minded folks like you, but you also get an entertainment zone (with pool tables, gaming consoles, and loads of board games) to turn up the knob and raise the level of chill. Now, whether it’s Stanza or any other PG with a healthy community living experience, these are the ways they’d help you for sure.

It Helps You Find Your Footing

When you move from one place to another, especially for studies or work, it can be difficult for you to adjust to your surroundings. However, if other students like yourself have come from different parts of India, then they can make your stay easier and more comfortable than ever before. When you live with someone who has gone through similar experiences, it becomes easier for them to understand what you are going through at that moment, which means they can offer advice or support when needed most. And that’s exactly the kind of environment you should expect during your stay in hostels too.

It Teaches You To Be Responsible And Respectful

In the adult world – the one which you’re about to enter – works around mutual respect and taking care of your responsibilities. And for a hundred different reasons, that might have been an area where you could have lacked during your school days. But don’t worry, that train hasn’t left the station yet. In an engaging community at your PG or hostel, that’s something you’ll get to learn. Whether it’s about learning to respect the boundaries of your roomies, or following up your tasks well in a hostel event – everything will teach you a lesson when you spend the best years of your life at a PG or hostel. So there’s that.

It Teaches You Empathy And Helps With Your Social Well-being

When we’re talking about “social well-being,” we mean that your community makes sure that everyone in it feels like they belong there-that they’re accepted for who they are, and that others value their contributions to the group. Communities help us feel valued because there’s always someone who needs something from us or wants us around because of something we have. Now, that might be a skill or it may be your attitude towards them. All in all, it’ll teach you a thing or two about social relationships. Or simply, friendships.

It May Help You Gain Confidence

Hotel life is a great way to improve your confidence. You will be surrounded by people who are passionate about the same things as you are. So when you sit around and talk about those things, it helps you bounce your ideas (no matter how weird they might be) and then build something valuable from there.

Also, a lot of the time you may feel like you’re falling behind in a key aspect of your college life. For example, a lot of us fear public speaking. But imagine if there was a group of friends at your PG who’d push you and make you practice to become better at it. Now, that’s something worth being a part of, isn’t it? Well, that should be hands down – yes!
