M: Good morning, Ms. Smith. Welcome to today’s show.
W: Thank you.
M: Today we’re going to talk about the living of foreign students in our country. You know, for many international students, coming to the United States and living here and studying can be a quite frightening experience, especially when finding housing. Can you give them some advice?
W: Sure. Fortunately, there are a variety of options that students can look to. They can choose to live on campus or off campus.
M: Then can you say something about on-campus living?
W: Well, I think first of all for first-time students, living on campus can provide a certain level of security because of its closeness to campus facilities since commuting without a car can be quite an experience, especially when you have to commute long distances. Often in dormitories, meals might be provided, and this can allow students to devote time to their academics, rather than housekeeping.
M: That sounds quite good. Is there anything students should pay attention to when living on campus?
W: Yes, students should be aware that they’ll be required to abide by certain regulations dealing with student conduct as part of the contract of living on campus.
M: Then what about off-campus living?
W: When you live off campus, there might be a certain amount of flexibility in choosing roommates that you might not have when living on campus. But you should be aware that tenants may be responsible for furnishing their own apartments.
M: Well, thank you, Ms. Smith, for the information you have provided for us.
W: My pleasure.
