Dear John, I hope
this
finds you well . I am writing
this
letter in regard to your
last
email which wanted to advise you about accommodation.
First
of all , I do not if you remember or not but we had an apartment in the city before I was accepted to
this
college . But it was far from the university and I had to spend 2 hours every day commuting , so we decided to change our apartment . We rented a flat near the college on Farjam bolivar , the location is good it is near to the grocery store and
also
you have access to transportation very well.I have kept the number of the consultant who rented that flat for us , his number is 091200000. Please be aware that when you are going to college you will be advised to live in a dorm , do not listen to them , I remember some of my classmates who lived in the dorm were always angry about the manager's behaviour. she was strict and did not allow them to come to the dorm after 9 pm. If you have more questions do not hesitate and write me back. Best wishes, Neda
