Dear Jass,

I hope this letter finds you well. It was great to hear that you got admission in Delhi University, and thanks for entrusting me with your confidence for suggestions on where to live during your course.

During my study at this University, I prefered renting a room outside the campus in GTB Nagar. It was because, the facilities being provided there were much better than the in-campus residence and the environment was also very tidy.

The most effective way to look up for an accommodation is by contacting the local dealers who generally assist students in moving and settling down in the region. Their contact details are easily available online, and there recommendations will definitely help you in getting an accommodation of your preference.

Do consider a room with an air conditioner in it. Most students ignore this as it elevates their rental cost, but it is a very crucial facility to have it, especially, in a city like Delhi during the peak summer season.

Feel free to contact if you need any further assistance regarding your accommodation.

All the best,

Param
