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 Ahmed, It has been a long time since we
last
were in touch, but I haven't forgotten the memorable times we spent together. I am writing you
this
letter to give you my experience with residing during university. I had been living in the compound near the university until
last
year as it was my fourth year. My building was on the opposite side of the university’s administration building. If I were you, I would check the university’s community group on Facebook because sometimes students publish advertisements asking for roommates.
In addition
, there are a lot of websites that list studios for rent. Once you access the website and log in, you can narrow your search by choosing the campus location. Be careful while renting the accommodation you like as some of my friends got scammed by fake ads that requested a security deposit before viewing the place. You always need to read the contract before signing and requesting to meet your roommates. I can't wait to hear back from you. Best wishes, Mahmoud
