W: Hello, John. You must be pleased. After all, how many students are lucky enough to have been accepted at their first and second choices?
M: Not many I know. But I’m not sure yet which one to choose.
W: Well, you seem to have doubts about the state university.(9)But its biology department has a fine reputation. What more could a biology major want?
M: Yeah. And they also have internships for seniors. But a friend told me that for the first two years some lectures have a hundred and fifty students. You probably wouldn’t get to know any of your teachers.
W: Well, you might actually, because those classes also have small discussion sections. They meet twice a week, and have no more than twenty students.
M: I know.(10)But I’ve heard that they are usually taught by graduate students. At White Stone College all classes are taught by professors.
W: What about Stating? Do you prefer a small town like White Stone? Or a bigger place like the state capital?
M: That doesn’t matter to me. What I do care about is getting individual attention from the faculty than making friends.
W: Look, I’ve known you for four years now and you seem to be a pretty outgoing person. I don’t think you have any trouble making friends at the state university. It sounds to me that you are leaning toward White Stone though?
M: I am. The only problem is that the White Stone’s fee is really high and I’m not sure I can afford it.
W: You could still apply for a student loan or sign up for a work-study program.
M: Yeah. I think I’ll look into that.
