问答题 At the beginning of this new semester, a university in Jiangsu Province has found a visible way to help some of its poorer students: It has built some special dormitories for poor students. More than 100 of the school's relatively poor students are now housed in these buildings. Besides simple facilities, the major difference between these and other dormitories is that the housing costs 500 yuan a year, but in other residence hails students have to pay 1200 yuan. 1. Do you think this is a good idea to help the poorer students? 2. Give at least two reasons to support your argument. 3. Give some suggestions as to how to solve the problem.

Is It a Good Idea for Poor Students To Live Separately

Accommodation fee is a financial burden for poor students, and reducing the housing cost does help those Who are poor. However, I don't think letting poor students live separately in specially built dormitories is a good solution to the problem.
Being poor doesn't mean being inferior, nor does it mean poor students should be treated differently. They also need respect and equality. Living separately in specially built dormitories can save them 700 yuan a year, but may add to their depression because a mark of inferiority is placed on them. They may feel that they are different from other schoolmates and they may withdraw themselves into a circle of poor students. Even more seriously, they may develop a feeling of being discriminated against by their schoolmates, their university and the society, and may develop psychological problems.
To solve the problem I think poor students should live together with other students. They can pay the housing fee with the money they earn from their part-time jobs. Student loans are another way to solve the problem. Universities can help poor students get loans from banks to aid the students in a respectful way.
