Unit One Colorful Life on Campus. Pre-listening ActivitiesPart 1略Part 2 a part-time job (an on-campus job); clubs; other organizationsScript：If you are attending college on a tight budget, you will most likely want a part-time job to ease your daily living expenses. Living on campus makes access to an on-campus job much easier as you will be only minutes away from your job. You dont have to worry about driving to a job and days when there is bad weather. You will make that extra bit of cash while meeting and interacting new people.Living on campus will give you the ability to take part in many clubs and organizations. This can include organizations that focus on education, cultural diversity, gender issues, recreational activities, spiritual activities, political clubs, sports activities, and much more. As well, the convenience of living on campus makes it more likely that you will participate in clubs and other organizations. Most colleges also have various college sports teams that one can try out for. Campus life is a unique experience that one should take full advantage of before they actually get out in the work world where they will have their whole lives to be fully independent.
