The woman expresses her opinion about the university' s plan. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
1. So what do you think of the university's new plan?
2. Oh, I don't know, I don't think it's gonna work.
3. No?
4. I mean I can't imagine top students being too thrilled about some of the conditions on this campus.
5. What do you mean?
6. Like the science laboratories having such old, outdated equipment, and the library needing more books and the student center being so small.
7. I think that two million could be spent in better places if the university is really serious about achieving its goal.
8. Ok, but what about the other reason for building the stadium?
9. I mean right now we have so little contact with the town.
10. Yeah, but this won't help relations.
11. Look, people from town hardly ever come to games because our teams always lose and they are not suddenly going to improve overnight.
12. Besides, adding seat won't make a different.
13. I mean if people from town didn't come before.
14. They won't come now just because the place is bigger.
