Hi Jane,
It is wonderful to hear from you, and I was thrilled to find out that you have been offered a place at my university. I would be happy to give you some advice on how to find a decent place to stay.
Firstly
, let me tell you what type of living setup I had when I was attending classes, where I was lucky enough to get accommodation within the school premises. Although
it is very hard to find such
accommodations, I was lucky enough to get to know that there was a vacant slot at the school hostel through the university portal, which I was quick enough to book for myself.
Thus
, I would suggest that the best method of going about finding a place is through the campus intranet which I believe that you have already been given access to. Hence
, if you access the campus portal, you will find a large number of listings related to housing for students, which include pictures of the building plus furniture.
However
, despite the portal providing information I must warn you, that some of the images shared by the owners are not genuine, and had several students getting misled. So if you shortlist some of the locations that seem to fit your requirements do let me know I could go visit those places for you.
I trust that I was able to provide you with some advice to start your hunt for an apartment, and hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards,
