Dear Sarah, I was over the moon when I got the big news. You must be very excited to move to Toronto. How are all the preparations going? In your email, you ask if I’ve got any advice about how to find a place to live here. Well, I've given it some thought and here are a few ideas.
First
 of all, I should mention where I lived back when I was a student. Actually, for the
first
 semester, I was living on the university campus for more or less two months.
Although
 it was great to live right beside the university, it had some drawbacks living there
such
 as sharing a room with another student which wasn't pleasant at all. After my bad experience with my roommate, I decided to rent a tiny apartment on the
next
 street and I was lucky to find one. I was so content with my decision back
then
. If I were you I would definitely surf the net to find a suitable and budget-friendly flat. Browsing the Internet will help you, there are plenty of websites you could search. What's really essential before choosing a place is the location. Keep in mind to find one as nearest possible to the campus because the streets get congested and you'll probably get late for your class. Another important thing is about the payments, remember that you or only able to work 20 hours a week so you can't earn a lot of money and afford an expensive apartment. anyway,
this
 is all I had in mind to share with you. If you need any more advice, don't hesitate to get in touch. Love,
