Write a letter to the accommodation officer including the following information: the type of accommodation you wish to find some details about yourself any special requirements you may have and any other relevant information.

Dear Sir or Madam, I recently received confirmation that I have gained a place on the M.Sc. Microbiology course at your university, starting

this

September, and am writing to you with regard to arranging for

accommodation

. My student registration number is 123456. I understand that you offer

accommodation

both on and off campus, the latter costing between £15 and£30 per week. I would prefer to live off campus in a house with two or three other students, each a student having his/her own room, ideally within a 30-minute walk of the university. I have budgeted for rent of £20 per week.

Moreover

, If possible, I would like to remain in the same

accommodation

for the entire duration of my course, i.e. two academic years.

However

, I do not have any special requirements

,

Remove the comma

but would prefer to share the

accommodation

with students my age (I am 25) who are actively interested in the sport. I myself am a keen rugby player. I do not mind whether the other students are on a similar course to me or not. I would be grateful if you could send me details of two or three choices at your earliest convenience. Yours faithfully, Andrew Scott
