Reading

Use the following to answer questions 21-23:

Read the text. Choose True or False.

Dear Student,

Consider the benefits of living on campus!

If you live on campus, you will meet a lot of people. This will help you
make friends and find people to study with after class.

You will also be closer to your teachers. If you have questions, you can
go to their offices and get help. Also, if you live on campus, you will be
closer to the library. This may give you a place to study late at night if
you have a test.

Living on campus is not very expensive. If you share a room with

another person, you won’t have to pay a lot of money. You might also
save money on gas because you won’t have to drive every day. You
can just walk to class, and this means you might get to class earlier.

Think about it. You will meet new people, be close to your teachers,
and save money. If you consider all of these advantages, you will agree
that living on campus might be the right choice for you.
