Dear souban,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am really happy because you have been offered a place at my university. I would be happy to give you advise about accommodation

Firstly, when I was student I used to live in an apartment which is one kilometer away from the university. It was really good in providing facilities like food and also safety.

Furthermore, I would suggest you find a place in campus to live which I think you have already been given access to. Hence, if you get access it will be beneficial to you in many ways like you will enough time for studying and also they offer a free gymnasium which makes you very happy as I know you are fitness freak.

Despite, university portal provides information regarding their accommodation. I must warn you, that some of the images shared on it are not genuine. So while checking make sure to let me know so I could go visit those places for you.

Hope to hear from you soon and have a wonderful day.

Yours lovingly,

Patel Tasnim
