CONVERSATION 2

 

Megan: Let’s check what the ULP offers.

Lauren: Good idea! What is it like? Is it big?

Sam: Yes, look at the map on their website. Zoom in, and you will see the ULP campus. The first building you find on your left is the Administrative Building. Then, you go straight on and pass between PILP II and III.

Lauren: What does “PILP” mean?

Megan: It’s an area called Technological Park where companies can settle to work.

Lauren: What kindof companies are they?

Sam: They are companies related to technology or software development and usually hire ULP students.  

Lauren: Oh, that’s cool. And what’s that one on your left? The big one.

Sam: That is the students’ area, where classrooms are, and opposite it you can see the Faculty Administration. I think there is a photocopier there.

Megan: Yes, and then, PILP I is on your left, and on your right, you can find the Research and Development Area and TV Studio.

Lauren: I read there are dorms where students live and a buffet where they can eat.

Megan: That is great for us because we live far from the university.

Sam: Yeah, and next to the dorms, students have a gym for free.

Lauren: Great! Let’s go to the university next Monday and get some more information on the registration process and programs.
