Dear Rossi,  I hope you are healthy and safe. Today, I am writing
this
 letter to inform you that, I am very glad to know that you got the chance to study at oxford university, England from where I studied.  To embark with, when I studied there I used to live in a student
hostel
, which was private.
In addition
, I lived there in a 2 bedroom flat with the other 3 students. We had to share our kitchen and bathroom.
Otherwise
, it was a really very clean and very comfortable place to live. The rent was
also
 very reasonable.
Moreover
, it was very close to my university.
Furthermore
, you can search online about accommodation. If you get the chance to live in a university
hostel
 I think it will be very good for you. You can visit some
hostel
 as well to know the facilities over there.
However
, I would like to advise you something. Do not hurry for accommodation. Please collect the information
first
then
 select your convenient one. If you find any
further
 problems please feel free to call me. I hope you will do better, and get to your
hostel
 as soon as possible. No more today. With regards, Zannatul.
