Many Gyosei students live in the dormitories. Dorm life teaches the students to live and communicate with non-family members, fosters a sense of the rules necessary for communal life, and helps students to grow into adults who are balanced in their relationships with others. More time can be devoted to concentrated study during the evening study hall hours. Many Gyosei students actually talk to their parents more than when they were living at home, perhaps because the students learn to appreciate family and are able to spend time conversing during the many breaks throughout the year.
