Daily Life - Picking A University (C0294)

A:

I've never heard of AmLion College. Could you...

B:

Of course sir, let me give you a brief overview. AmLion College is located in the center of New York city. The school covers a wide range of academic subjects; and eighty percent of the courses are transferable to other state universities. And, last year AmLion College was ranked number one in terms of graduate employment.

A:

Interesting, and what about the tuition fees, then?

B:

You'll be looking at somewhere around fifteen thousand US dollars per semester.

A:

Okay, well.

B:

And, did I mention our on-campus housing? Students can stay in our newly renovated dorms for as little as three thousand dollars per month!

A:

Sounds good. Well. I'll just grab one of your flyers.

B:

Sir, you got the wrong flyer. Sir, sir!
