M: Excuse me, I’d like to see the accommodation officer.
W: Are you a student at this university?
M:(12)I will be from next month. I’ll be a graduate student in the Department of Business Management.
W: In that case I can help you. What do you want to know?
M: Well, could you give me an idea of what sort of accommodation is available now?
W: Not much, I’m afraid. With campus rooms, you have to join the queue and wait your turn. It might be several months or even a year before we can guarantee you a room.
M: So there’s no chance of my moving into a campus room at the beginning of this term?
W: I’m afraid not.
M: So what do you recommend?
W: Well, how much can you afford to pay?
M: I guess, about a minimum of ￡ 100 per month, but that would be stretching it.
W:(13)Then I suggest you share a 2- or 3-bedroom flat with other students. It will be a lot cheaper than renting a one-room flat by yourself.
M: But how can I find students to share with?
W:(14)Why don’t you look on the Student Bulletin Board in the Student Union office? A lot of students put notices up there asking for another person to share a flat. If that fails, come back here and we’ll try to help you out.
M: Thanks for your advice. I’d still like to put my name on the waiting list for a campus room.
W: Of course. But I warn you it’ll be a long wait.(15)There are 1 700 students before you.
M: How many rooms are there?
W: 300.
