MALE VOICE: Hello Accommodation department, how can I help you?

MARIA: er … do you look after accommodation for international students?

MALE VOICE: Yes, we look after accommodation for all the students.

MARIA: Good, I hope you can help me then, I’ve only just been accepted onto a post-graduate course and I want to know if there is any accommodation available from this September. I know it’s very short notice.

MALE VOICE: Mmmm, yes, it is rather late, but I’m sure we’ll be able to find you something. First of all, can you give me your name and student number so that I can find you on the system

MARIA: Sure, my name is Maria Teresa Gonzalez.

MALE VOICE: Ma-ri-a ……. Te ….. re ….. sa …… Gonzalez ……. How do you spell that?

MARIA: G-O-N-Z-A-L-E-Z.

MALE VOICE: Thank you …… vil …… a ……. got it, and your student number please

MARIA: SHU300715PG

MALE VOICE: S-H-U-3-0-0-7-1-5-P-G ……. ah! Here you are. Department of Modern Languages.

MARIA: Yes, that’s me.

MALE VOICE: OK, now, there are several options for Post Graduate students. Firstly there is The Trigon. This is a new block near to the station and not far from the main campus. Accommodation is what we call ‘cluster’ accommodation.

MARIA: What does that mean?

MALE VOICE: There’s a small group of rooms, usually 6, each with its own bathroom clustered around a lounge/kitchen area which is shared.

MARIA: Oh, I see, that sounds good.

MALE VOICE: They are very popular, the price for these is £99 per week and we do have some availability left. However for post graduate students there are other options.

MARIA: And what are they?

MALE VOICE: There is another apartment block called The Cube located near the west gate of the campus. Accommodation there is in 1 or 2 bedroom self-contained flats.

MARIA: How does that work?

MALE VOICE: Well, basically, they are just like ordinary apartments, each apartment has one or two study bedrooms with ensuite bathroom, a lounge and a kitchen.

MARIA: And what is the price of those.

MALE VOICE: For the one bedroom it is £ 180 per week and for the two-bedroom it is £110 per week for each person.

MARIA: And can I choose who I share with?

MALE VOICE: If you have a friend and you would like to share with then of course we can reserve a two bedroom apartment for you both. Otherwise you just have to share with whoever else is there. Obviously it will be another woman.

MARIA: Mmmm, I will have to think about this, do I have to make a decision now?

MALE VOICE: No, but we don’t have much accommodation left so I can’t guarantee that there will be still be availability if you leave it too long.

MARIA: Yes, that’s fair. I have a friend in the Management Department who might like to share. I will speak with her and get back to you this afternoon.

MALE VOICE: OK, fine, do let us know as soon as you can.

MARIA: I will do, thanks for all your help.

MALE VOICE: My pleasure.

MARIA: Bye

MALE VOICE: Bye
