Now listen to two students discussing the article.
So…what do you think of this?
Well, I think it's a good idea. Necessary, too.
Why's that?
Well, you know, I've actually been up to the admissions office a couple times, like to pick up some information for a friend, ya know? And every time I've ever been there? Wow, you can tell they're really busy.
Oh, really?
Yeah. Those staff members are running around like crazy—[emphatically listing] on the phone, doing interviews, dealing with tons of paperwork—so I can totally believe what they're saying about the time factor. Seems like having one less thing to worry about will be a good thing.
Sounds like it!
Yep. Oh, and about the other point…
The, uh, different-perspective thing?
[affırms] M-hm. I think people like us would be really good at this. Unlike, y'know…I remember when I was first shown around the campus. The guy leading was…well, he was super nice, but there were some questions that he couldn't really answer from experience.
Like what?
Well…practical things, which're the noisier dorms, or which ones are quietest…which student cafeteria he'd recommend. Stuff he didn't have first-hand knowledge about. [no upspeak] I mean, how could he?
I see. Our point of view might be more helpful.
