We've all seen movies set in ** college **, but not everyone knows that the one shown isn't the real college world. The reality is less spectacular than what they show, making these films look hateful by the students themselves. For this reason we have decided to debunk the ** misconceptions ** that many people have on the subject.

** Everyone always party **

When we think of college, we immediately think of huge parties with all the students on campus getting drunk. This is not exactly the world of ** university students **. In fact, there are parties, but ** they are not as frequent ** as you think. Many teens opt for other types of entertainment, such as board games or TV series marathons, which do not necessarily involve a lot of alcohol.

** The dorm is a prison **

Everyone will tell you that the ** dormitory will be a kind of prison **, where space will be limited and you will be forced to share a room with someone annoying. In reality this is not the case, on the contrary: you can customize your room as you wish, making it as comfortable as possible for your needs. Your goal will be to think of your dorm room as your ** new home ** by putting your "signature" on it, which you are not allowed to do in prison!

** You'll spend the nights awake studying **

** Sleepless nights ** spent studying non-stop for the upcoming exam? It can happen, but it's not necessary. The image of students awake late at night on books is false: university hours are more flexible than high school hours and, with a little organization, you can safely avoid not sleeping in order to study everything. So don't be afraid and ** plan your study day **.

** You will automatically become an adult **

Many teens mistakenly think that once they move away from their parents they will instantly become adults. ** Wrong idea! ** A boy starting college has certainly taken a step towards adulthood, but he still has a long way to go. So start doing your chores like ** cooking, doing laundry and cleaning your room **: they will be actions that will lead you to become a full-fledged adult day after day.

** You must have a TV in the room **

While it may seem like a good idea at first, having a ** TV in your room can be counterproductive **. Attending college also means making friends and developing new interests, TV could be an excuse to "watch another episode" and not seize the opportunities that will present themselves every day.
