hey fatima...
it depends on the student itself...
1st i wanna ask did he himself asked fr a hostel or is it a family decision?
if you feel your brother is conscious enough fr his life goals and has already matured to take good decision & responsibility in his life( that can be reflected in his past career decisions), then certainly hostel is gud fr him.

otherwise if he is nt that mature, better keep him with the family, as 10th class is the turning pt fr life, the marks one gets are scripted throughout life in every career decision, it gives you an insight of which way you should go...as its boards so it makes altoghther tough fr the students to cope with the stress alone.. he needs support ( he says or dn't say this!!)family plays a crucial role as silent supporters ... any wrong decision can change the things....
if people say they can't study at home, they are nt totally correct as in home we tend to take things casualy , we ignore the help which we get frm our parents,fr ex a small thing as gud food, timely lunch, dinner etc.the opinion which we get fronm our peers,it helps us in keeping a chk on our performance!!!..
my opinion is that in hostel no matter how tough you seem to be, you have to fight with all those cruel things like jealousy of fellows,their cribbings, ur fights,bad food, dirty washings( ya tahts true!!) all by yourself...its totally a different wrld & must say nt a very gud wrld to be in at the most crucial time of ur life!!
so better take the decision acordingly...
take care
