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 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 place 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.

Although

there are various ways that pupils can find their accommodation, the best way would be to go to our university’s website on which there is a lot of information regarding accommodation. If there is a hall of residence you really like, you can apply for it immediately, which is straightforward. 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 incredibly 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 sometimes, 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
