Due to the distance between their hometown and college, a few students live with their family while many others live far from home to study. This issue has long been a matter of everyone concern, especially students and their parents. Second, life away from home has very important effect on their psychology and study. When leaving home to live in another place, they will be difficult avoid some problem of the new habitat. As a result, some students are decreased in their study.

From that, they realize the difficulties which they meet and can render the concretely solution to diminish the negative effects to study more effectively.…
