University May Build New Student Apartments Off Campus
The Department of Student Housing is considering whether to build new student
housing off campus in a residential area of town. Two of the major factors influencing
the decision will be parking and space. Those who support building off campus
argue that building new housing on campus would further increase the number of
cars on and around campus and consume space that could be better used for future
projects that the entire university community could benefit from. Supporters also
say that students might even have a richer college experience by being connected
to the local community and patronizing stores and other businesses in town.

The woman expresses her opinion of the university’s plan. State her opinion and explain
the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
