What kind of place shall we rent ?   It should be close to the university . Neither of us are good at getting up in the mornings and closer it is , the later we can get up .   Absolutely . That's the most important thing to take into consideration . I'm not too worried about the size of the flat .   Neither am I . so a small place is ok , but we'll get a bigger one if it's not expensive . Do you mind if it's in a noisy area .   I don't mind . I'm not a light sleeper , but quieter is better for when we have to study at home .   Good point . Ok , let's go to the estate agent and see what they can offer us .   Yes , if we're lucky we'll find something in the next few days . I think you had a good idea to start flat hunting early .   How much do you think the rent will be ?   I asked a few people who are already living in places near the university and they said it would cost about one hundred pounds a month .
