答案 Lodging outside School Several years ago, people were often a little surprised when they heard that a student lodges off-campus. "Why? Maybe he can not live in college dormitories," they thought. Nowadays, it is not an uncommon occurrence that college students live off-campus. Why do many students prefer lodging outside school? According to my own observation as a college student, I find, in first two years, most of college students live on-campus, while some juniors and seniors like to live outside schools. Especially, for those students who prepare for National Entrance Examination for Postgraduate, they find it’s more efficient to arrange their sleeping and study time than living in college dormitories. For those students who were doing a part-time job, it’s more convenient to arrange their job as well as their study life than living on-campus. Moreover, students living in an apartment in the community can live like being at home, making breakfast and dinner, and inviting friends over for party. They also can fully enjoy privacy as well as open themselves to the society. However, just as every coin has two sides, lodging outside school has disadvantages. First, being away from campus, students lodging outside are not close to classroom and school facilities. They need spend time getting to class, to the library or to the gym. Next, living outside college, students have fewer opportunities to contact with their schoolmates. Generally, living at college, students eat at a dinning table shared with other students in the dinning hall; they study at a big desk surrounded by other students in the library, and they play sports in the field with their own teammates against other teammates. As a result, students living in college housing naturally know more people and make more friends at school. But these advantages usually cannot be shared by students living outside school. Besides, students living off-campus cannot focus their attention exclusively on school events and school activities; therefore, they have fewer opportunities for becoming involved in campus activities. Finally, being away from college, students are also away from college administration. In short, concerned about students’ study and safety, most of their teachers and parents hold that students live on-campus. Taking into account all these factors, we may reasonably come to the conclusion that a combination of two years on-campus and two years off-campus is a winning combination for the students who want to live outside for convenience. In this way, they can keep contact both with the university and with society.
解析     文章开头通过对过去与现在两种不同现象的比较，引出文章要讨论的主题：现在大学生校外租房住的现象很普遍。最后一句，用一个问句引出下文。
    中间部分，作者从两方面进行论述。首先，作者结合自身经历，分析大学生在外租房住的原因和好处，富有说服力。其次，通过与学校住宿对比，作者分析校外租房住的弊端，并使用了标志词first，next，besides，finally，条理清晰。同时，行文中使用了however，therefore，in short等表示启承转合的信号词，逻辑清晰。
    文章最后一段权衡利弊，提出自己的看法，认为大学前两年住校，后两年住校外，这样就能保持与学校和社会的联系，观点独特。
