is open for me?

In addition

, I would prefer to have a private room. The main reason I have chosen

this

option

, I will not be able to avoid gluten food. Could you tell me if gluten-free food is served for catered students? Alternatively, if it is not and I am allowed to stay in self-catering accommodation, is there a good choice of

Finally

, if either my accommodation or food preferences are not available, would it be possible to arrange another

option

? Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Maximillian Welhaus
