Chapter 636 Student Apartments
After picking up Senius and his group, the first stop that Rufair took them to visit was the student apartment building.

According to the original promise, the first phase of the new university will include four buildings, namely a teaching building, a library, a square and student apartments.

However, so far the library has only been half built, the square has only been one-third built, and the teaching building has been repaired with great difficulty, but the interior is still being renovated.

In the end, these were the only student apartments that I could show them.

Crossing the tree-lined avenue beside the river, Rufair led them from the inn near the clock square to this campus by carriage.

The new campus was not built on the south bank of the Para River, but on a flat wasteland separated from the scientific research area by a ruin.

This location is not very good, because it takes a long way to get to the wooden bridge across the river, and one of the two new bridges connecting the north and the south in the future will be right in front of the campus gate.

This so-called student apartment building is ultimately based on the style of the Sura Apartment, except that the wooden floor has been replaced with a floor made of wood and mortar.

The first floor is the toilet, bathroom and public activity space, the second and third floors are student dormitories, and the fourth floor is too low and is generally used to store miscellaneous items.

Senius, Leonardo and Silvanik led a dozen students and walked into the courtyard in the middle of Insula's apartment.

In the center of the courtyard was a narrow well with a hand-operated water pump installed on it. Leonardo walked up to it and pressed the pump a few times with great interest, watching the intermittent flow of water from the brass pipe with shining eyes.

"Can I open this and take a look?" he asked Rufaire impatiently.

Rufeel looked puzzled: "Why are you taking this down?"

Instead, the guide laughed and said, "You don't have to take it down. The engineering design of this thing is in the city hall. If you join the new university here, you can use it as a scholar."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, this matter hasn't been decided yet." Silvanik interrupted quickly.

He didn't want to take classes in this shabby place. It was too remote, and if the Leia people came to kill them, they might be implicated.

Several college students looked up at the blue sky, stepped on the solid and neat stone mortar floor, and looked around to find toilets, bathrooms and clothes drying racks.

This is much better than living in a farmer's attic, but I don't know how much the rent will be.

Following the guide up to the second floor, Senius opened a room at random and walked in.

"This place is much bigger than I thought." After looking around the room for a long time, he turned to Rufel and sighed, "Does every student have a room like this?"

"Of course." Rufeel confirmed with the guide before nodding, "If you want, you can move in tonight."

Following Senius, Leonardo was the second to enter the room. He stood at the door and looked around the room.

The apartment is not big, about 40 square meters, with two wooden shutters and window panels to block the wind.

Facing the windows are four wooden four-poster single beds, and near the windows are four standard desks placed close together.

A dressing table-sized fireplace hearth was embedded in the side of the room. In the middle of the hearth was a bowl-sized hole with a small iron gate that could be opened and closed, and a tin kettle was placed on the hole.

Facing Leonardo's puzzled look, Lufell smiled and explained: "This is a built-in coal stove that burns peat. In winter, three pieces of honeycomb coal are provided to each room for free every day.

If used sparingly, it can probably keep warm for a whole night, but I still recommend boiling hot water and pouring it into a leather water bag to keep warm at night.

If the peat is not ventilated in time, the smoke will be too heavy and may cause poisoning. A tragedy happened a while ago. "

“You provide heating for free?!”

The students following Senius rushed into the room like a tide, and as soon as they came in, they heard a great piece of news.

"Of course, our 100 pieces of honeycomb coal cost less than one dinar, so it's easy to keep warm in the winter," said Rufair with pride.

Several college students who followed walked around the brand new room, touching it from top to bottom.

Especially those soft single beds, there will definitely be no creaking sound when you sleep on them.

"What about the rent for these houses?" With a heavy heart, a student tremblingly asked the question that other students wanted to ask but did not dare to ask.

Although the other party promised to provide cheap accommodation, cheap is relative. Obviously, this accommodation is not cheap.

"You don't have to pay rent, but you do have to pay a maintenance fee, which is no more than thirty dinars per year." The guide patted the newly made single beds, "But you have to pay for any damage to the furniture." Thirty dinars per year? A strange green light flashed in the eyes of those civilian college students.

You have to know that they originally rented the cheapest house on College Street of King's University on River Island, where house prices were relatively low. The annual rent for a house was 5 pounds, and there were only two floors and four compartments, but more than a dozen people had to live in it.

A few college students who were good at math quickly did the math in their heads, and they were surprised to find that they could finish college with almost no debt!

"Teacher Senius, I think this place is pretty good."

"Yes, Mr. Senius, why don't we settle it here? You can still be the principal."

"Students, don't be knocked down by money." Looking at the increasingly excited college students, Silvanik said with great sorrow, "Don't forget, there is Leia..."

At this point, Silvanik realized that he had said something wrong and immediately shut up.

"Although food and accommodation are provided here, the prices seem to be quite expensive." Leonardo quickly changed the subject.

This is indeed a big problem. Yesterday when they went out to eat and go shopping, they secretly recorded the prices.

According to statistics from several scholars, the prices in the Holy Court are 40% to 50% more expensive than those outside, and some are even twice as expensive.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

This question immediately dampened the students' original interest, but they looked at Ruffield as if asking for help.

"In addition to accommodation, we have also signed an agreement with the restaurant owner across the street." The guide said, "Until the student restaurant next to the square is completed, you can get a free lunch every day, but you can't choose the dishes."

"Although the prices are high, there are many job opportunities here and you can earn a lot, especially since you are literate." Rufeel glared at Silvanik in dissatisfaction, "Being a temporary scribe can earn 2 dinars a day. With the students' knowledge, can't they be elementary school teachers?

There are adult literacy classes here, with two classes per week, each class costs 6 dinars, which means 12 dinars a week. If the teaching is good and many students pass the adult literacy exam, there will be additional bonuses.

Or, you can do what I do and submit your plays to the theatre, where I can sell a cheap comedy for 2 pounds!

Don't you like fighting? Every week, the Semicircular Theater holds sword fighting competitions. After a competition, the bounty and other miscellaneous items can even reach four or five gold pounds. If you are confident, you can go and give it a try.

Even if you are only interested in academics, the school will hold exams every quarter, and those with good grades can get a full scholarship of 2 pounds. "

After listening to Rufair's words, several college students once again quickly calculated in their minds.

"Holy Lord!" A civilian college student couldn't help but exclaimed, "Not only do we not have to go into debt, we can actually make a small profit!"

Although they haven’t visited the teaching building and library yet, these civilian college students have already determined that this is their alma mater which is closer to them than their own mother.

Please don’t write letters to Huaqiu Xinqiao University, for fear of misunderstanding by my new alma mater.

Their biological parents had not paid their tuition fees of at least 4 pounds a year, so sometimes they had to do odd jobs or even rob to make ends meet.

"Dean Senius..." Several scholars also hesitated to speak.

Under the eager gazes of the college students, Senius waved his hand helplessly and gathered several accompanying scholars together, whispering to each other.

After chatting for four or five minutes, Silvanik straightened up with a fake smile and said, "I'm sorry, we can't decide for now. Can you give us a few more days?"

"Of course, but..."

"But what?" Senius quickly caught the lingering feeling and embarrassment in Rufair's words.

Before the echo of Senius' words faded from the room, a nervous laugh came from outside the house.

"Oh, it's nice to live in the city! ... Who are you? What are you doing in our schoolhouse?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Senius slowly turned his head, and when their eyes met, Senius and Maester Kelburn pointed at each other and exclaimed.

"Arthropods!"

"Old baldhead!"
