Dear Maxwell, Congratulations on your admission, and I am so glad to hear that you are going to the same
university
where I studied. As requested, please let me share my experience with you to find decent accommodations in the
university
area. I have been living in a small flat
that is
10 minutes away from the
university
building
while
I was studying. The flat was well-appointed and convenient.
Moreover
, it was near the bus and metro stations. I could easily commute to the
university
campus at the lowest price. I would suggest you focus on websites
such
as Corousel or Facebook marketing to find the flat. You could search by putting the town or how many rooms you would like to live in.
In addition
to that, you must go through with the contract regarding flat booking because students may face legal issues that are out of their expectations, i.e. extra payment for damaged items. I hope that the above information will be helpful

you, and please let me know if you need any more help. All the best. Thanking you, Faisal
