For many international students , coming to the Unite States and living here and studying can be a quite a daunting experience,
對于大多數(shù)的各國學生來說，到美國去學習并住在那里將會成為一個讓人畏縮的經(jīng)驗。

And I'd like to talk just briefly a little about on-campus living, off-campus living, and some of the advantages and disadvatages of each.
我將簡單的談一下有關住在校內(nèi)或校外的優(yōu)點和缺點。
Well I think first of all for first-time students, coming and living on campus in dormitories can provide a certain level of security
我首先考慮一下初來的學生，住在校園的寢室里可以給他提供一種安全感。
because of its proximity to campus facilities since commuting without a car can be quite an experience,
因為就用學校的公用設備，免用車子的上學，這也可以成為一個經(jīng)驗。

但是學生們也應該意識到，他們被要求在處理與校內(nèi)同學之間的關系時要去堅持一定的規(guī)章制度。
Another option,uh,another option is off campus living in apartments , and like living in dormitories,
另一個觀點是住在公寓內(nèi)的校外學生，和喜歡住在寢室的學生，
uh,living in an apartment requires little or no maintenance specifically because usually it is handled by someone,
住在公寓里就不堅持要求了，因為通常它都是由某一個人處理。
uh,else ,Also ,uh,when you might live off campus ,there might be ,uh,uh,a certain amount of flexibility in choosing roommates that you might not have,uh,living on campus.
還有，當你住在校外在選擇室友時你將很靈活，而住在校內(nèi)卻不同。
But you should be aware that tenants may be responsible for furnishing their own apartments.
但是你應該意識到那些天才將會對他們自己公寓里的設備負責。
Well, of course ,the choice is up to you,but be careful to review both the advantages and disadvantages of living on campus and off campus .Good Luck.
好了，當然選擇由你，但是你一定要小心在考慮住在校內(nèi)和校外的優(yōu)點和缺點。祝你好運。
