TPO 40 - Question 3
University to Create a Lounge for Commuter Students
Many students at our university do not live in dormitories These students live in town or in the suburbs and travel to campus every day The university has decided to provide these commuter students with a special lounge in the student centerwith couches, chairs, and a television. University officials hope that this loungea place to socialize and relaxwill give commuter students some of the same advantages that dormitory residents now have. An important additional feature of the lounge will be a bulletin board on the wall for posting and sharing information that may be especially useful to commuter students and their particular needs.
