A home is truly a place of love, unity and harmony. I can see you loved your school hostel and still want to go back to it though it was difficult for you at the beginning.
I personally I've not loved hostel from my beginning due to maltreatment from the seniors and the nonsensical food given to students that's why the thought of returning there has never crossed my mind for once.

You have a really nice post, best wishes to you.
