I really appreciate your driving me around .   It's no problem . I have time today , and I think it's important that you find a good place .   It would be hard for just me to do it . I don't know the city at all .   So what do you see in there ?   This one sounds good.Efficiency with view of the lake.Utilities and parking included . Newly remodeled kitchen . $ 470 .   Can you afford that much ?   No , I guess not . But that's what I want , isn't it ? An efficiency .   Yes , an efficiency is a small apartment.Usually one large room and a small bathroom.There is often a small kitchen too . So it's good for one person .   How about this one ? Downtown efficiency . Furnished ... What does furnished mean ?   That means the apartment has furniture in it .   That's good .   Sometimes it's good , sometimes it's bad . You have to like the furniture .   Furnished . Parking included . $ 400 .   It's still pretty expensive .   Yes , but it's downtown . I would like to take look at this one .   Alright . What's the phone number ?   256-7797 .   Got it . What else do you see ?   This one . Two male grad students seeking roommate.Must be quiet . Comfortable downtown apartment.Does this mean I have to share a room with them ?   No . It probably means they have a large apartment.Probably a living room , kitchen and three bedrooms.They need someone for the empty bedroom .   That sounds alright .   Yes , it might be an advantage for you . You are a foreigner , after all.If they're alright roommates , you could learn a lot from them .   Here's the number , 256-4367 .   Got it.Let ' s call these two and see if we can make appointments to see the apartments .   Sounds good to me . I really appreciate your help on this .
