As a graduate student from a rural area, Xiaonuo encountered a problem that made her confused after entering Peking University for graduate school, and she was not assigned to a dormitory. This caused a lot of pressure for her, as she had to take care of the accommodation on her own. In order to ease the burden on her parents, she had to accept various part-time jobs, but this also made her face a struggle between her studies and work. This problem is not only present at Peking University, but also in many other universities. This has led to reflection and discussion about why universities no longer offer graduate student dormitories.
The main reason why universities no longer provide dormitories for graduate students is because of the increased tension caused by the expansion of enrollment. At present, the number of graduate students is surging, and the dormitory resources are relatively limited, which cannot meet the accommodation needs of all graduate students. In order to provide more space for graduate students to study and live, some colleges and universities choose to push them out of the school, believing that graduate students are adults and do not need to be constrained by the school like children. However, this practice has increased the financial pressure on some students whose families are in financial difficulty. They have to settle accommodation on their own, with higher rent and living costs.
In addition to the surge in demand for dormitories caused by the expansion of enrollment, the lag in dormitory construction in colleges and universities is also an important reason for the shortage of dormitories for graduate students. In the case of insufficient financial allocation, the construction of dormitories in many colleges and universities relies on self-financing or public welfare donations. However, some universities are reluctant to build dormitories because of concerns about excessive borrowing, overdue debts and excessive interest burdens. As a result, the construction of university dormitories cannot keep up with the pace of expansion and cannot meet the accommodation needs of graduate students.
Faced with the problem of insufficient dormitories for graduate students, a variety of countermeasures can be taken to solve it. One of them is to give graduate students a rent subsidy. For example, Fudan University gives graduate students a monthly transportation subsidy of 800 yuan, and Peking University gives a monthly subsidy of 500 yuan. Although the subsidy amount is not high, it can at least alleviate the financial burden of some students and give them some comfort and compensation.
In addition, colleges and universities can also increase investment in dormitory construction to improve the supply capacity of dormitories. **Financial allocation to colleges and universities can be increased for dormitory construction and social welfare donations can be encouraged. In addition, colleges and universities can also cooperate with enterprises to build dormitories through the PPP model to solve the accommodation problem. At the same time, colleges and universities can also cooperate with local ** to develop housing resources in the surrounding areas and provide graduate students with choices.
There is now a growing trend for universities to no longer provide postgraduate housing, which has led to reflection and discussion on this issue. For schools, they should realize that graduate students are also part of the university, and their needs and difficulties also need to be addressed and addressed. Although they are adults with their own needs for life and privacy, they still need the support of the school's accommodation.
For students, they should pay more attention to their own rights and interests, and communicate and give feedback to the school effectively. They can express their demands through the student council or other channels to seek more attention and support from the school.
All in all, solving the problem of graduate accommodation requires the joint efforts of the school,** and students. Schools should increase the supply capacity of dormitories, provide more accommodation options, and provide financial subsidies to ease the financial pressure on students. **Financial support for the construction of dormitories in colleges and universities should be increased to promote the construction and improvement of dormitories. Students should be more actively involved, express their needs and difficulties, and fight for their rights.
