You live in a room in college which you share with another student. However, there are many problems with this arrangement and you find it very difficult to work. Write a letter to the accommodation officer at the college. In the letter, describe the situation, explain your problems and why it is difficult to work and say what kind of accommodation you would prefer.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing

this

letter regarding some issues I have been facing in the

college

room

I share with a roommate. I started

college

about eight months ago, and as I am an international student, I applied for one of the accommodation options the

college

offers.

Although

I had intentionally applied for the single

room

, I was offered a double

room

, where I share the space with another student as, unfortunately, all single rooms were occupied at the time.

However

, my roommate is an extremely social person, and he has friends over literally every night. I find it very challenging to concentrate on my studies and even sleep because the

room

is always noisy and crowded.

Besides

that, they smoke in the

room

and I am an allergic person.

As a consequence

, I have been suffering from migraines that I believe are caused by the smoke. I would be extremely grateful if I could be transferred to a single

room

where I can focus on my essays and assignments and have a revigorating night of sleep. The current situation is really affecting my quality of life and

thus

, my performance in

college

. Yours faithfully, Mark Johnson
