HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? i like to live independantly, taking my own decisions with no higher control as to my movements ,my routine life. since i am a trainee orthopaedic surgeon i have odd schedule and on duty calls , i like it when there are no strict entry and exit schedules as in a hostel.
Personal comments:
previously i had to live in the universities hostel for about twelve months and those times were harsd as it was a combined hostel both for freshies as for post grad students, so i preferred to move out as concentrating was hard to come by.
