Original:

Well, I would definitely prefer to go camping in a tent. Firstly, as an undergraduate college student, I'm not financially independent. All my tuitions or other life expenses are taken from my parents. So camping in a tent will be a best way for me to save the money while traveling. The money saved could be used in other important ways, such as travel to more new places. Also, furthermore, I think camping in a tent is a way to better connect with the city I traveled in when the night fell. I can just walk out of the tent, lay on the grass, and immerse myself into the deep blue sky and the glacious stars. However, when I stayed at a hotel, I can't get some brilliant experience like this.

Revised:

When choosing accommodations for a vacation in a different city, I would definitely prefer camping in a tent over staying at a hotel. Firstly, as an undergraduate college student, I am not financially independent. My tuition and living expenses are supported by my parents. Therefore, camping in a tent is an ideal way for me to save money while traveling. The funds saved can be allocated to other meaningful experiences, such as exploring more new places. Secondly, I believe that camping in a tent allows for a more authentic connection with the city I am visiting. When night falls, I can simply step out of the tent, lie on the grass, and immerse myself in the vast expanse of the deep blue sky and the glittering stars above. In contrast, staying at a hotel may not provide such unique and memorable experiences.
