Given is a bar chart highlighting the distribution of student accommodations, namely University dormitories, living with parents, shared apartments or houses, own houses or apartments, and married student housing, among undergraduate and graduate students at an American university in 2013.
Overall, most undergraduate students opted for University dormitories while graduate students expressed a stronger preference for more independent housing choices such as shared apartments or houses.
For undergraduates, the University dormitory led the rank, with over 4000 students living on campus, followed closely by shared apartments with approximately 3800 students. The remaining types of housing had fewer than 1500 students, with two of which, including owning a house and married student housing, have no more than 200 reported and the left ranging from 500 to roughly 1400 students.
Their counterparts witnessed a completely opposite trend. For postgraduates, shared apartments emerged as the most popular choice, accommodating roughly 1500 students, followed closely by shared houses with approximately a thousand. Graduate students also showed a notable tendency to reside in their own houses or married student housing, with each category attracting more students than undergraduate groups. Interestingly, accommodations such as living with parents or in university dormitories were less common among graduates, with far fewer opting for these types of housing.
In conclusion, it is clear that there were a reversed relation between literacy levels and dependence. While the vast majority of undergraduates opted for the University dormitory or living with parents, graduates chose more independent and private living arrangements.
