Tell me what you think about university dormitories

Dividing dormitories is not a simple matter. All orientations and floors must be considered

Bedrooms facing south are sunny; dormitories with upper bunks are undisturbed; dormitories on the third and fourth floors are dry. Refreshing... In a dormitory building, someone always wants to live in the north-facing dormitory, someone always wants to sleep in the lower bunk, and someone always wants to live on the first floor.

The matter of dividing dormitories has often become the source of complaints from students and parents. It is best described as "difficult to agree upon". So, what considerations does the school take when dividing dormitories?

The reporter recently visited several high schools in Wenzhou City and found that each school takes into account various factors and the needs of students when arranging dormitories for students, which can be said to be well-intentioned. According to Tao Aifen, deputy director of the Political and Education Department of Wenzhou No. 51 Middle School, when the school divides dormitories, the gender of freshmen is the first thing that needs to be divided, and male and female students are arranged in different dormitories. Then differentiate on a class-by-class basis, and try to arrange students in the same class in the same dormitory to avoid the phenomenon of "mixed dormitories" where students from different classes or grades live in the same dormitory. After dividing according to these two major standards, the dormitory arrangement has been roughly determined. Next, it will be divided according to the county (city, district) where the students come from. The advantage of this division is that students in the same county (city, district) can By "organizing a group" to go home on weekends or holidays, not only the safety of students' travel is guaranteed to a certain extent, but it can also enhance the relationship between classmates.

“After our school is divided by gender and class, we will also consider the floors of the teaching building and dormitory building.” Cai Benzai, deputy director of the Political Education Department of Wenzhou Middle School, said. It turns out that Wenzhou Middle School will take floor height into consideration when arranging dormitories for students. That is, if a student's class is on a higher floor in the teaching building, the school will try to arrange the student's dormitory on a lower floor. This consideration takes into account the time and amount of exercise that most students in the school spend commuting between the teaching building and the dormitory building. It will not make some students have to climb up and down every day, but it can also increase the time for students living on lower floors. The amount of exercise is really a heart-warming measure.

Random blind selection PK self-selected dormitory college students and high school students have different opinions

After a preliminary understanding of the standards used by various high schools and universities in Wenzhou to divide dormitories, it was found that various The school's standards for dividing dormitories are relatively similar, basically based on the two criteria of "gender + class". The university has undergone some changes, including the traditional "random blind selection" and the recently launched "self-selected dormitory".

"Self-selected dormitory" is a method of dividing dormitories implemented by Wenzhou University City College since last year, which means that freshmen studying at the school can choose dormitories and roommates according to their own preferences. "For the freshmen who have just entered this year, we have detailed the method and time of 'selecting your own dormitory' in the admission notice." Fan Maosheng, director of the school's academic and engineering department, also said that during the period when students choose their own dormitories, the school will be on campus. On the open online platform, each student needs to fill in relevant personal information, including name, gender, major, place of origin, photo, self-introduction, etc. The self-introduction will show the student's personality characteristics, living habits, hobbies, and what kind of roommate he hopes to find, etc., for students who choose dormitories to view. After four people choose a dormitory together, they will become roommates. After the school implemented self-selected dormitories, it has been well received by most students and parents. In a questionnaire conducted by the school on self-selected dormitories, the satisfaction rate for the two questions "Is the atmosphere of your dormitory good?" and "Do you get along well with your roommates?" reached more than 90%.

But things usually have pros and cons. High school students also have their own ideas about the two methods of random blind selection and self-selected dormitories. "I think random blind selection is better. People should constantly adapt to new environments instead of adapting to themselves by changing the environment." Huang Jiayi, a student from Wenzhou No. 51 Middle School, thinks this way. As an emotional girl majoring in liberal arts, when she meets students majoring in science It’s a great thing to be roommates in thinking and be able to interact with various types of people. You can learn the best parts of each other’s personalities. Coincidentally, Chen Hongfan from Wenzhou Middle School believes that roommates with different study or living habits will have a certain driving effect, which is conducive to forming a good atmosphere in the dormitory. Generally speaking, high school students who have not yet experienced "choose your own dormitory" are more inclined to choose randomly and blindly.
