Welcome to the Learn American English channel, where you learn naturally so you can speak naturally.

In this video, we are going to listen to conversations about university life.

This video is divided into two parts where the characters will talk about their lives in college.

There will be a listening comprehension quiz at the end of each scene.

So, listen carefully and see if you get all of the questions correctly.

Also, be sure to stay with us until the end of the video.

We'll point out important words from the conversations, everyday slang, and the most common way to say things in English.

Watch for these words and phrases in the subtitles.

You'll find their meanings in the vocabulary section in the last part of the video.

First, let's listen to a conversation between Maggie and Joanne.

And don't forget to note the highlighted words for their meanings at the end of this video.

I'm thinking of majoring in International Relations.

I plan to major in Economics and minor in Philosophy.

Yeah, and I plan to minor in Art History.

Were you at the freshman orientation yesterday?

Just a campus tour, people registering for classes, and some activities.

Speaking of, are you done registering yet?

A lot of classes are already full, so I've been emailing professors hoping they'll give me a spot.

I still need three more classes, then I'm all set.

Are you thinking about joining any clubs, Maggie?

I haven't checked them out yet, but maybe.

Yeah, I'll swing by the club fair tomorrow and see what's out there.

I know, it's way too early, but it was the only class left, so I just took it.

This semester will be over before you know it.

Hey, I'll go get more boxes and we can talk some more later.

Here are some listening comprehension questions to see how well you understood the conversation between Maggie and Joanne.

Joanne plans to major in International Relations and minor in Art History.

Maggie plans to major in Economics and minor in Philosophy.

So, did you get all the questions correctly?

Now, let's listen to another conversation between Amber and Trevor.

Yeah, I usually do, but this semester's been rough.

I'm struggling to keep up, and I need to maintain at least a 3.5 GPA, or I lose my scholarship.

My course load is heavier than usual, and on top of that, I've got my student org duties.

Seriously, you have to give yourself time to rest.

Yeah, yeah, I get that, but now I need some real advice.

What helped me was figuring out how each of my professors actually graded.

Different professors care about different things.

Most of the time, your midterms and finals make up a huge chunk of your final grade.

Yeah, they make up like 70% of my final grade.

Yes, but other professors also look into attendance, class participation, and research papers.
