Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the accommodation that has been arranged for me during my short-term course in Colorado. Unfortunately, I have encountered a significant issue that needs your immediate attention.

The primary problem I am facing is the location of the accommodation. The apartment provided to me is situated almost a 30-minute drive from the university. As an international student without access to a personal vehicle, relying on public transportation has proven to be quite inconvenient, especially as the schedules are often unreliable. This has resulted in me missing three classes over the past month, which is understandably affecting my academic performance.

When I enrolled in the course, I specifically requested accommodation within the university hostel, as outlined in the agreement I signed. However, I was unexpectedly assigned to a different location that does not meet my needs. This situation is proving to be quite challenging.

I kindly ask you to address this issue at your earliest convenience. Could you please inform me if there are any available rooms in the university hostel? Having accommodation closer to the campus would greatly enhance my experience and academic success.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response with a resolution.

Best regards,

John
