I am and Indian and i am planning to shift back to india after 2 years from singapore. I have been in singapore for the past 9 years and have never really been able to adjust myself well here.I always wished to return to india. i have now decided that i wud complete my 12th grade by year 2009 and then return to india.I would have to stay in a hostel there as my family would still be living in Singapore. I do have many cousins and relatives there but i think i should stay in a hostel. I just wish to know both the advantages and the disadvantages of staying in a hostel, away from family and home.I am interested in Architecture and hoping to get a good college with proper staying facilities.
