I'm glad to hear of you. As for living at home and living in your school dormitory, I think you'd better to choose the latter.
First of all, living in a dormitory will develop your ability of living independently and solve problems by yourself. Secondly, if you live there, you will find easier to share feelings with your friends; in all, you are of the same age and have common feelings towards many thing. Most important, living with your friends will improve your team spirit, that will be beneficial to your future career.
I hope you can consider my advice seriously and then make you final decision.

TV That Changed the World
1.The Simpsons____________
University of Pennsylvania Linguistics professor Mark Liberman wrote in 2005," The Simponshas apparently taken over from Shakespeare and the Bible as our culture's greatest source of idioms and catchphrases.” Liberman's comment sounds crazy---at least until you remember there's a Millhouse quote for every occasion .Even the gatekeeper of language, the Oxford English Dictionary has found a spot for Homer Simperson's trademark "D'oh!"
2.America's Most Wanted ____________.
The show has helped arrest over I,100 fugitives(逃犯）since its debut in 1988.Many people thought highly of the series as they could enjoy a safer community.
3.Glee________________
Fox scored a sleeper hit with the musical series in 2009.But the show's real impact came between airings. As most of the record industry failed .the Glee recordings found staggering success on iTunes .By the end of 2011, the cast had sold more 11 million albums and another 36 million single tracks. Meanwhile, the 2011 concert tour grossed more than $40 million.
4.Sex and the City__________
A 2011 Ohio State University study found that undergraduates who viewed an episode of Sex and the City were more than twice as likely to talk to their partners about sexual-health issues.
5.ER ____________
ER did more than make George Clooney a superstar. It also changed the way America ate. In three 2004 episodes, the show focused on the doctors' orders for a teenager with high blood pressure: exercise, and eat more fruits and vegetables. While the plot sounds humdrum, it scared viewers straight. In 2007, researchers from the University of Southern California's medical school found that viewers who caught these episodes had started walking or exercising more, eating more fruits and vegetables, or getting their blood pressure checked. How can anyone say watching TV is bad for you?
