Laura : Where are you going to live when you start college in the fall ?
Tilo : I don't want to live on campus. There's too much noise when you're trying to study, and there aren't enough places to go when you want to socialize. So, i'm going to get an apartment off campus.
Laura : Cool! What kind of apartment do you have in mind ?
Tilo : Well, I'm hoping to find a large, modern place with an extra bedroom for visitors. It has to have parking. And, of course, it has to have a washer and dryer.
Laura : Hold on! Do you have enough money for an apartment like that ?
Tilo : Why? Do you think it would be very expensive?
Laura : You are clearly out of touch with rental prices! You need a reality check. An apartment like that will cost an arm and a leg.
Tilo : Like how much ?
Laura : We're talking megabucks maybe two grand a month.
Tilo : Two thousand dollars? I had no idea. I thought it would be a lot less than that.
Laura : Only if you want to live in a tiny apartment way outside of the city.
Tilo : Well, maybe i shouldn't be in such a rush to move out. I could live at home with my parents just for the first year.
