Lavinia, a 20-year old student, finds that she can save a lot of money by renting a room nearby the
university instead of residing in the hostel. At the end of November 2021 she enters

parents over the December holidays, she mentions to them that she is going to stay in a room when
she returns for her third year of studies. Her parents are totally against this idea. They feel that it is
too dangerous for her to stay on her own and her mother is particularly worried about the fact that
she will not eat properly if she stays on her own. Subsequently, they tell her to cancel the contract
and move back to the hostel.
