Though they usually have to bear it for at least the first year, most U.S. university
students end dorm life as soon as they can. Residence(住校)choices at U.S. colleges and universities are as different as the institutions themselves, but the first-year dorm experience is generally a mandatory rite(仪式)of passage. Students often complain about the space, but compared with most Chinese dorm rooms those in the U.S. are costly and satisfying. Most students spend their first year in a double room, usually with an area of somewhere between 12 and 15 square meters. A standard room includes a sink(washbasin), a telephone, a bunk-bed, two desks and two wardrobes. Rooms often come equipped with cable TV and broadband Internet access. Students usually provide other extras for themselves-they buy or rent a mini-refrigerator and bring along a carpet, a computer and audiovisual equipment. Roommates are usually chosen by chance from among all the new students at the university, so it's quite likely you won't share any classes with your roommate. It's not only the lack of space, but the many rules that make students feel they've had enough after a year. Rules on visitors of the opposite sex and alcohol are considered by many as the most bothersome(讨厌的)。 Some students put much effort into making their rooms different, especially by using paint, but this can lead to fines. Many students who leave move into an apartment or share a house with friends. This offers more freedom and sometimes even costs less than residence hall living. But a few grow fond of dorm life and stay on for another year or even longer. The most devoted go on to serve as resident assistants, the enforcers(执行者)of rules.
