[speaker001:] what's your apartment like?
[speaker002:] it's furnished two bedroom flat in a three-story building on campus.
[speaker001:] what is it like living in on-campus housing?
[speaker002:] it's not as bad as I thought it would be. The freshmen that live nearby are really loud, especially on the weekends. But, the rent is much cheaper than private housing, so it's worth it.
[speaker001:] did you have to pay a deposit?
[speaker002:] no, but we do have to pay 9 months rent in 6 months, so for the first months we pay 12 month's rent each month.
[speaker001:] do you have to pay utilities on top of your monthly rent?
[speaker002:] no, it's all included. Besides, students don't have to pay council tax, so we're saving quite bit of money by living here.
[speaker001:] how long is your contract for?
[speaker002:] that's the bad thing-the contract ends in June, so we'll have to find a new apartment soon.
[speaker001:] have you started looking again yet?
[speaker002:] not yet. I'm hoping we'll be able to find something cheap once all the students leave the city for the summer.
[speaker001:] Good luck!
