Roommate

Woman: Hey, Matt. How’re things?

Man: Oh you know, standard college experience. Very, very stressed.

Woman: Haha, naturally. What specifically is going on?

Man: I’ve run into this problem with my housing for next semester and I need to make a decision soon.

Woman: Mmm, housing can be rough.

Man: Yup, it definitely can. I actually got lucky early on. I’ve had a great roommate for the last two years in the dorms, but now he’s going to be moving off campus next semester.

Woman: Aww, that’s too bad. Yeah, I bet you wouldn’t get that lucky again.

Man: Yeah, that’s what I’m worried about. But I need to make some decisions about my living arrangements.

Man: I know. I’m just really struggling with the idea of sharing a room with somebody new. There could be compatibility problems. Like, what if he wanted to go to sleep at ten o’clock. I am used to studying late at night and my old roommate was always fine with that. A new roommate could potentially throw off my whole schedule.

Woman: Yeah, I mean, you never know what you’re going to get. What’s the other option though, moving off-campus?

Man: Mhmmm. That’s what I’ve been thinking about too. My roommate found a house off campus with some other friends and there’s a bedroom available that I could take. But, I need to let them know by the end of the week.

Woman: A house would be pretty social, could be lots of fun! I mean, you would be further from campus, which is a bit of an inconvenience but…

Inconvenience - the quality of being inconvenient, or something that is inconvenient zahmet, rahatsızlık, sıkıntı, güçlük The Director apologized for any inconvenience caused.

Man: Yeah, that is the downside. Like you’re saying, the house is actually pretty far from campus, and I’d have to wake up earlier in order to get to class on time. But the house would save me some money since we’d all be splitting the rent.

Woman: Sounds like you’ve got a lot to consider!

Man: That I do.
