By the word "community" they mean a village or a town and all the people living in it. A city usually consists of several communities, in this case community represents a district. According to the dictionary, "community” is a group of people living in the same place and united by the shared interests, religion, nationality, etc." University campuses are also considered to be communities, including the big areas of campus grounds, college buildings and facilities located on this territory and professors living nearby. CAMPUS. A campus is the territory of a university or a college where buildings and halls of residence are located. A campus usually is a really big area. A student spends most of all his/her time there, since on the campus territory you will find not only the administration building and education spaces, but also a library, dorms, fraternities and sororities, cafeterias, gyms and sports fields. The classrooms buildings are usually for all the related departments. For instance, the sciences may be in one building, the social sciences in another, the humanities all together and perhaps music and art off somewhere. A science like engineering may have a building all to itself. One building you will find on every campus is the Student Union. It has a cafeteria and a snack bar which is convenient for those who live off-campus. There is an area with comfortable chairs where students can relax and talk. Some students study there between the classes. The Student Union is the place where discotheques are often held. Last, but not least, every campus has a bookstore where you can buy textbooks and supplies. There are different payments students can get while studying. A grant is what students get every month which is taken from the state budget or is paid by local authorities. A scholarship is given to especially bright students who have excellent results, and is usually much higher than grant. An allowance is a one time payment for not so well-to-do students who may find themselves in a difficult financial situation. Vocabulary to the Text.

Text I A. Across The Nation Part 1Uniting two campusesLADUE—An $18 million expansion and renovation project at Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School is the largest in the school's history. The private, co-ed school serves more than 1,200 students in grades junior-kindergarten through 12. This capital-improvements program, made possible by a $40 million fund-raising campaign, will unify the school into a 100-acre campus. The phased project, which is to be completed in the fall of 2001, will consist of three components: construction of a new administration/classroom building; creation of a new indoor athletic complex; and renovations to existing classroom buildings, parking lots and athletic fields. The center piece of the new campus will be Olson Hall, a classically styled, two-story, 36,000-square-foot academic/administrative building, which is scheduled to be completed in midsummer 1999. The hall will include a bookstore, as well as admissions, business, development and offices. Work on McDonnell Athletic Center, a 65,000-square-foot athletic complex, will include a track, indoor courts, a high-jump pit and pole-vault area, a fitness center, and office, conference and storage space.
