Your friend has been offered a place on a course at the university where you studied. He/She would like your advice about finding a place to live. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter -describe where you lived when you were a student at the university -recommend the best way for him/her to look for accommodation -warn him/her of mistakes students make when choosing accommodation

Dear Catherine, It's been so long since I've heard from you, I hope you are doing well. Anyway, I am writing in response to your question about where to live during your course. Let me start by outlining the place I stayed, which was a three-bedroom apartment, only 2 blocks from the University's main entrance.

Although

it had a garage, there was no balcony. The bedrooms were quite spacious, as well as the living room. Prior to finding

this

apartment, I looked at many websites,

such

as Airbnb and accommodation.ca, without any success. Due to

this

, I would strongly recommend the student board, at the University's main hall, where students who are looking for roommates or studios available for rent around the campus are posted on a daily basis.

Finally

, be careful when choosing to be a roommate, as the other people living there might not be as tide as you or do not care enough about being in the university as you.

In addition

, if you rent a studio for yourself, check about which utilities are included and if there is any furniture available. Please let me know if you need any more help. Best regards, Chris
