The decision about where to live while studying at the tertiary level can have a major influence on a student’s chances of success. It is important that particular needs, such as security, a quiet place to study, and a convenient location, are taken into consideration before a choice is made. Various options available to students are discussed below:
1. Private Rental Accommodation.
A single student can either move into an existing household or establish one with friends or acquaintances. Rent and expenses such as bonds, electricity, gas, and the telephone are shared equally among the people living in the household. Buying food and cooking is done either individually or on a group basis. Each person is expected to help clean and tidy the shared living space, that is, the kitchen, bathroom, and living room. Each is responsible for cleaning his or her own room and doing the washing.
The best place to start looking is on notice-boards around universities and colleges, or in the windows of nearby coffee shops. Students often advertise for housemates, and those seeking accommodation should advertise their situation too. Local real estate agents often provide a share service, although there is usually a significant fee for this. A last resort would be the ’To Let’ or ‘Share Accommodation ‘sections of the weekend newspapers.
A small number of flats and houses are available through the university or college housing offices , but most are found through local real estate agents. Unfortunately, there is no cheap way to move into a house or flat. When renting, a person is usually required to sign a six-month lease, and pay rent in advance plus a refundable bond. Remember to make allowances for these establishment costs, and include the purchase price of furniture and equipment. Starting from scratch means a rental bond, rent in advance, a telephone bond and connection fee, electricity or gas connection fees, furniture, utensils, appliances, and so on. Even moving into an established house can cost more money than most students expect. You should find out about all the extra costs before signing a lease and committing yourself. Moving out before the end of the lease period requires the rent to be paid until a suitable new tenant is found.
2. Lodgings.
Lodgings refers to a furnished room in a private home (of a family or elderly person) with use of facilities such as kitchen, bathroom, and laundry. Sometimes cooking facilities and bathroom are separate, but are usually shared. No meals are provided. Students buy their own food, do their own cooking, clean their rooms, and do their own washing. Use of the telephone in the home is an extra cost, but electricity is usually included in the rent. Rooms for lodgers are always available in suburbs around universities and colleges, but there is an increased demand as institutions begin their first intake of new students.
3. Homestays.
Homestays are a furnished room and use of facilities in a private home (of a family or elderly person) , with dinner and breakfast provided. Some, but not all, provide lunches, bed linen, laundry , service, and weekly room cleaning. It is difficult to find full board accommodation because the number of places listed is limited. A room with use of facilities (own cooking) is easier to find in suburbs close to university and college campuses. The cost for full board is about a third as much a-gain as for proper rental arrangements.
In summary, finding accommodation while you study is a difficult business, and it is recommended that advice be sought wherever possible. Do not underestimate the costs involved; students invariably complain that they overspend. Nonetheless, in the long run, it is probably wise to pay a little extra in order to ensure comfort and ease while engaged in an all-important study programme.
The main difference between homestay accommodation and lodgings is that______.
选项
A、homestays cost more
B、food is not provided in lodgings
C、students usually have to share their food in lodgings
D、students can do their own cooking in homestays
答案
B
解析
lodging部分明确指出“No meals are provided”,而homestay部分说,“with dinner and breakfast provided”,A项没有明确说那个花费更多。C项shared的是cooking facilities,不是food。D项do their own cooking是相同点。
