Now listen to a conversation between two students.

Hey, Frank, I heard you got a summer research position with professor Davis.

Uh, huh, but I’ve got a problem.

Oh?

Yeah, well, since I didn’t hear from her for so long, I assumed I didn’t get the position. So I didn’t apply for a dorm room for the summer. I’m afraid it’s too late for that now.

Yeah, the deadline for campus housing application has already passed. So what are you gonna do now?

Well, I can stay with my parents. They live two hours from here so I thought I could drive and commute to campus everyday. I know my mom and dad would be happy to have me over for a few weeks and most of my old friends would be home for the summer so, in a way, it’d be fun.

Yeah, I understand. But you’d spend quite a bit of time on the road going back and forth. Won’t you get tired?

Yeah, that thought did cross my mind. The other thing I could do is rent an apartment off campus. Besides being closer to work, I’d also save tons of money on gas.

Uh, huh. But then you’d have to pay rent.

I know. There’s always something, isn’t there?”
