dialogue: #Person1#: 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?
  #Person2#: No, I'm not sure I'm going to.
  #Person1#: There's not much time left. The deadline's May 1. That is just two weeks from now. Are you short of cash?
  #Person2#: No, I'm Okay.
  #Person1#: 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.
  #Person2#: Well, I've been thinking about living off campus.
  #Person1#: Have you any idea of how much that would cost? There is the rent, utilities, and you'd probably need a car.
  #Person2#: 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.
  #Person1#: You should study in the library the way I do. Think of the money you'd save.
  #Person2#: I've got to think it over some more. There's still two weeks left in April.
summary: #Person2# is not sure whether to rent a house with a higher cost or live on campus with a lower cost.
