Officer: Good morning, Student Housing Office, Megan speaking. How can I help you?
Student: Hi, I'm calling because I'd like to find some accommodation for next term. I'm an international student starting in September.
Officer: Of course. Let me take a few details first. Could I have your full name, please?
Student: Yes, it's Daniel Foster. That's F-O-S-T-E-R.
Officer: Thank you, Daniel. And do you have a student ID number yet?
Student: I do. It's 4-0-2-9-7-6.
Officer: Great. Now, what kind of accommodation are you looking for? We have halls of residence on campus and also a list of private rentals.
Student: I think I'd prefer a hall of residence, at least for the first year. It seems easier to meet people.
Officer: That's a popular choice. The on-campus halls offer single rooms, and most of them include breakfast and dinner. The weekly cost is one hundred and forty pounds.
Student: That sounds reasonable. Are the rooms self-catered or catered?
Officer: The ones I mentioned are catered. We do have self-catered flats too, which are cheaper, but those tend to fill up quickly.
Student: I'll go with the catered option then. Do the rooms have internet?
Officer: Yes, all rooms have free wifi included in the price, and there's a shared kitchen on each floor for making snacks.
Student: Perfect. What about the location? Is it far from the science building?
Officer: Not at all. The nearest hall is called Riverside Court, and it's only about a five-minute walk from the science building.
Student: That's ideal because I'm studying chemistry. When would I be able to move in?
Officer: Move-in day is the twelfth of September. You can collect your keys from reception any time after two o'clock in the afternoon.
Student: Good to know. Is there anything I need to bring with me on that day?
Officer: Yes, please remember to bring your passport for identity checks, and a copy of your acceptance letter.
Student: I'll make sure I have those. And how do I actually reserve a room?
Officer: You'll need to complete the online application form and pay a deposit of two hundred pounds to secure your place.
Student: Is the deposit refundable?
Officer: It is, as long as there's no damage to the room when you leave. You'll get it back at the end of the year.
Student: That's fair. One last question — is there parking available?
Officer: There's limited parking, but I'd recommend using the bus, as the campus shuttle is free for residents. If you'd like, I can email you the application link right now.
Student: Yes, please. My email is daniel.foster@email.com.
Officer: Lovely, I've just sent it. The deadline for applications is the thirtieth of June, so try not to leave it too late.
Student: Thank you so much for your help, Megan.
Officer: You're very welcome. Have a good day, Daniel.
