Anne: Yeah, whatcha’ been doin’?
Jack: Oh, not much, just hanging around my suite.
Anne: Oh, you got a suite this year? I remember last year you were in a triple. I mean, thouse rooms were really supposed to be for two people, but they stuffed three of you in them.
Jack: Right. That’s why I got to bid first for my room this year. And now me and five other guys are in a suite.
Anne: So it’s three rooms for two people each?
Jack: Right. And how about you? Where are you living this year?
Anne: I’m out in the Hillside Community, I really like it there. It’s a little further away from the Academic buildings, but it’s nice and quiet. You know, I’m not much of a partygoer.
Jack: I know. Last year our crazy floor used to keep you up all night! Do you remember when the RA caught me with beer in my room? I had to do 15 hours of building service!
Anne: That RA was so strict! In Hillside, since it’s mostly an older community, there are no regulations about alcohol. However, Sunday through Thursday, and Friday and Saturday after 1 a.m. are all “quiet hours”.
Jack: Is it more expensive to live up there? Iknow the apartments are really nice.
Anne: Yeah, a lot more. It’s about $2,000 a semester.
Jack: Whoa. My room is just $1,400 for a year per person.
