Speaker 0: What do you think about studying in the U . S . ? Speaker 1: Well , for many international students , coming to the United States and living here and studying can be quite a daunting experience , especially when finding a house on campus or off campus . Speaker 0: Do you have any advice ? Speaker 1: I think first of all for first-time students , coming and living on campus in dormitories can provide a certain level of security . Speaker 0: Anything else ? Speaker 1: Uh , when you live off campus , there might be a certain amount of flexibility in choosing roommates that you might not have when living on campus . Speaker 0: I will think over your advice . Speaker 1: Well , of course , the choice is up to you . Good luck ! Speaker 0:

It's faster for one thing . And usually less crowded . But the drawback is that the subway is more expensive than the bus . It adds up over time , if you take it every day . Speaker 0: That's true . The bus is even worse . Just thinking about taking the bus every day makes me tired ! Hey , how do you get to work every day ? Speaker 1: I ride my bike . I don't live too far away , so it's pretty convenient . it's only about a ten minute bike ride from my house to the office . Speaker 0:
I'll bet it's good exercise , too ... a good way to keep fit .
