Should a College Graduate Rent or Purchase a House?

With the soaring of the house price, the dream of having a house becomes unattainable for most of the new graduates. They face a dilemma of dwelling narrowly or renting a room.

People holding the idea of purchasing a house think that the advantages of owning a house of their own outweigh another choice. On the one hand, house price is expected to rise in the future. The possession of a house is expected to make profits in the long run. On the other hand, a house belonging to yourself makes you feel safety and comfort. Nevertheless, dissenters do not agree with the idea. In their view, the house price is too high to afford for graduates. If graduates decide to buy a house, they are certain to increase the burden of their family.

In my opinion, it is more advisable to rent a house during the first years than to buy a house because it is unwise to buy a house at such a high price. Surely, graduates can decide when to buy a house in accordance with their family condition. (180 words)

大学毕业生应该买房还是租房?

随着房价的飙升，买房梦对于大部分刚刚毕业的学生来说变得遥不可及。他们在蜗居和租房之间面临着两难的选择。

支持买房观点的人认为，拥有自己的房子的好处要超过租房的好处。一方面，房价预计将来还会上涨。从长远来看，拥有房子有可能会获利。另一方面，拥有自己的房子会使你感到安全和舒适。然而，持异议者不同意这种观点。在他们看来，房价太高了，毕业生不能承受。如果毕业生决定买房，他们必定会增加家庭的负担。

我认为，毕业后第一年里租房比买房更合适，因为以如此高的价格去买房很不明智。当然，毕业生可以根据他们的家庭情况来决定何时买房。
