Yes, i have been in hostel for four years when i did my graduation. At the beginning, i felt as if i was the only person on earth and nobody to accompany me. I missed my home very much. The caring and sharing of love was not there in my life. After sometime, i got used to it. I started enjoying hostel life very much with my friends.

I think every one should spend atleast one year in hostel as its a nice experience to get.till now i dint have the experience of hostel.hostel will make you learn the basics to live alone.if you have parents with you you are bound to be a bit lazy.but i think its blessing to live live with parents.hostel life maybe is enjoyable but living with parents is very satisfying.

I am not familiar with the hostel lifestyle but in answer to your question...I have spent a large portion of my life away from my parents. For 12 years, I lived over 1,000 miles away from them and only saw them 4 or 5 times when they came to visit. The past 14 years I have been 2,000 miles away from them. Last summer was the first time I had been home in 14 years and I spent about 5 days with the family. My parents have come to visit my home about 3 times in the past 14 years. I stay close to them by phone, internet and mail. Now that they are getting older and are not able to travel as much, I know I am the one who will be returning home more often. Strangely, I do not feel that I am missing anything like love or caring or sharing.
