Dear Sara,
I hope
this
letter finds you in a jolly mood. I am sorry for do not reply as soon as I received your letter. Unfortunately, it was my examination time. I wanted to put more time to answer.
As you mentioned, you have applied for a training course at the Persian Gulf University in Tehran. It puts a smile on my lips, unintentionally, as I remember those days. It was my milestone. Tehran is a megacity that is
home to many local attractions. Not only the weather is mild all over the year but also
the people are friendly and hospitable. As far as I remember, when I was a student I hired a cosy apartment in a residential complex on Satatkhan street. It was around a 10-minute bus journey from the campus university. Although
our complex was crowded, it was quiet and tranquil. I had a captivating view of the mountain through a huge window in the living room. There was a local park neighbouring us.
I recommend you to look for a place through social networking apps or websites which are offered various kinds of accommodation. For instance
, one-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom apartments and spacious houses and so on. They are neither costly nor old. Still better, you have a chance to compare prices and figure out informative information about their facilities.
However
, If I were you, I look for a place that can share with others. It would be a rewarding experience to live with your counterparts. Moreover
, being a newcomer to that city, you could get acquainted with people and make new friends.
It is important to pay attention to some notes. Accessibility to subway stations or bus stations plays a major role for those who want to rent a place that is
far away from the university. It would assist you to save time and money. In addition
, many students prefer to live downtown due to many shopping centres, restaurants and other things. Not only they would suffer from traffic congestion but also
they have to pay more for their choices.
I would be very delighted if I can help you. Do not hesitate to ask if there is any question.
Best wishes,
