Dear Amy, I hope

this

letter finds you well. I am incredibly sorry for not having been in touch recently. Life has been a bit hectic. I am writing

this

letter in reply to your previous email with regard to the accommodation you would like to live in. When I was studying at RMIT, I lived in Rice Halls of Residence. Living there is quite convenient as there is a canteen on the

first

floor where residents can have three meals every day, which provides us with an opportunity to pay enough attention to our studies without thinking about cooking and grocery shopping.

Although

there are various ways that pupils can find their accommodation, the best way would be to go to our university’s website. If there is a room you really like, you can apply for it immediately, which is straightforward. There are

also

several links to real estate agencies, so you are able to contact them to seek your accommodation. A significant number of mistakes you need to avoid when choosing a place to live.

Firstly

, when you find roommates, you must think about their majors. The workload of several subjects is particularly easy, which makes them have enough time to have parties in your room, leading to being extremely unsettling and disturbing.

In addition

, you need to pay a deposit in advance to secure a bed or a room, and you must do it on time,

otherwise

, you will lose your opportunity. I hope my advice is useful for you. Drop me a line at your earliest convenience to let me know what I can help you with in terms of learning or other things. Best wishes, Nina
