M: You should have seen the line at the housing office. It took me an hour to make my dormitory deposit for next year. Have you made yours yet?
W: No, I’m not sure I’m going to.
M: There’s not much time left. The deadline’s May 1. That is just two weeks from now. Are you short of cash?
W: No, I’m Okay.
M: You’d better hurry up if you want a dorm room next September. There aren’t enough rooms for every one, and first-year students have priority.
W: Well, I’ve been thinking about living off campus.
M: Have you any idea how much that would cost? There is the rent, utilities, and you’d probably need a car.
W: I know it would be more expensive. I think I can handle it though. The dorm is just so noisy that I can’t get anything done. Maybe my grades would be better if I had some peace and quiet in a place of my own.
M: You should study in the library the way I do. Think of the money you’d save.
W: I’ve got to think it over some more. There’s still two weeks left in April.
