Dear Sam, Hope you are doing well and congratulations on your placement at Oxford University. I know how hard you have studied to get a course in tourism. I am writing
this
 email to tell you about a few places where you can stay while studying at University. When you will get admission, the institute will provide you with a brochure in which you can choose any kind of accommodation for yourself. I preferred a family house which provided 3 homemade meals with our own washing area.
Furthermore
, you can
also
 look in the newspapers for any rental places near Manchester because the above house was quite high in demand.
However
, there are multiple houses which provide the same facilities for 20 pounds a month. If you want an apartment, you can
also
 ask the librarian of the institute as she has many strong ties in the city. I would
also
 like you to be aware of the scams and frauds that usually happen; the adverts outside the campus write false information to attract students and take advance money and do not provide any services.
Moreover
, before shifting to any place just make sure you inform the university councillor as they can help you in any sort of mishappenings. Hope to see you soon. Your Friend, Hema
