Dear Hiya,

I’m so happy to hear that my university has sent you an inviation for a place in the course. I’m writing to suggest you some ways to find an good accomodation.

I lived in the college hostel, which was located at quite distance from the university. The room was too congested, and there was little facilities I was offered. Also, there were several rules I was obligated to follow like sleeping early and guests were not allowed. I was always disturbed by notorious seniors.

Hence, I would like to suggest that you should rent an apartment. Nowaday, there are plenty of options available, which offer advanced amenities and privacy. I will send you an agent number, who is one of the friends of mine, he will definitely help you In order to access those.

Please make a close look on selecting a property. As your enrolled in the full-time course, select the area, which is situated nearby the campus. It will reduce your commuting time and help you to focus on study. Some students make mistakes while selecting cheaper option but sppending more on the fares of buses.

I hope this information will help you.

Best wishes,

Rumana
