Dear Mary,

How have you been? It’s been long since we last reached out. Congratulations on securing your seat in Niagara University. It’s one of the well-reputed institutions along with an incredible accommodation services in-campus. During my journey of graduation, I personally preferred residing in campus hostel facility as it helps you to cut down the cost of transportation and is budget-friendly. And to my shock the food here was unbelievable unlike other hostel facilities. It was as similar as described on their website.

You must go through an online website of accommodation services by university thoroughly and look for the best options available in your budget. They also provide you a campus map so you can select the building accordingly nearby to your classroom.

I highly recommend you to visit the place before making registration for the place as many students believe in images on an online portal which is not always true.

Hope you will enjoy your stay and make the most of it in your university life.

Yours truly,

Simran.
