Many universities are adopting new learning techniques in the increasingly massive internet technology era. Not only face-to-face lectures, but universities can also provide online learning facilities through internet network connections. You don’t need to bother coming to campus because you can access learning anywhere, even sitting sweetly at home. 

In line with the Covid-19 pandemic, it has changed many aspects, one of which is being able to study from home. Students can follow lecture materials only by relying on an internet connection and simply accessing from home. You can get many benefits if you don’t want to bother to spend too much if you want to study from home. In addition to being economical, you also avoid the cost of living out there that makes it wrapped around and chokes your finances. What are the benefits? UMN friends must see the post until the end! 

1. No need to live in a dorm

One of the most awaited benefits for all of you, if you are studying from home, is that you don’t have to bother looking for boarding houses. Indeed, it is undeniable that boarding fees are the most expensive cost after tuition fees. The more complete the boarding house facilities are, the more expensive the price is likely to be. Moreover, if you want a cheap boarding house, you have to look for one far from the campus. Doesn’t it make you tired? Not to mention, if it’s far away, buying this and that equipment also costs money again…

If you have financial constraints in this area, don’t hesitate and worry about choosing to study from home or online. By learning from home, you don’t have to look for a boarding house. Commuting is much more convenient if the distance is close, right? Or is it better not to have to go here and there but stay at home and still be able to study comfortably?

2. Maintained Diet

Studying at home also makes you pay more attention to your nutrition. Imagine if you live in a dorm; your pocket money must be tight for days and weeks. But at home? Every day, let alone you can eat for free; you won’t even think about snacks. Food is already served at the dinner table; if you don’t have time to eat, you can also make lunch. During breaks, you can have lunch at home—no need to bother looking for any open food stalls. Sometimes the price of food on campus is also quite hefty, so bringing lunch from home is one way to save your expenses. 

3. More economical living expenses

For those who study near home, the expenses will be much more efficient than those far away as you don’t need to pay boarding fees, buy boarding equipment, transportation costs, and so on.

Even for daily meals, you don’t have to bother buying them because it’s already at home. So the money you need is only for daily needs on campus. You can even save and use that money for other important things in the future. This is an advantage, right?

If there is an emergency, you can directly talk to your parents because you meet them more often than migrants. So there is no need to adjust and look for the right time. It’s much more efficient, isn’t it?

4. Anti Homesickness

Who here studies and lives far away from home and tends to feel homesick? Homesickness is increasingly becoming a problem for those students who have to live far away from home due to college. They may feel homesick due to being away from their parents, and not being able to taste delicious food made by their mom must make them miss home. 

If you migrate to a dorm or other form of boarding house far away, it certainly makes you miss home and is separated by distance to communicate. Whereas if you study at home, you can intensely meet your loved ones every day. If you take a break, you can also play around and visit a friend’s house for a while. It’s better, right? Even if there’s a long vacation, you don’t need to worry about costs.

So, for those reluctant to choose a campus near your home, don’t worry because online learning could help you reduce the cost of living that, is too expensive if you want to board, etc.
