Your friend has been offered

Dear Mary, I am so excited to know that you will be studying at Bricks University soon. Economics major is one of the best courses offered by the university and it will surely help you in meeting your career goals. Congratulations on your grand success! Surely, I can guide you for suitable accommodation. When I was there, I chose to live at the dormitory located between the library and Department of Physics as it was at short walking distance from the academic section. Firstly, I suggest that you check the availability on the website of the university under 'Available Accommodation' section on 'Students' page. You can also submit an application to the Dean - Student Affairs asking for vacant rooms. They will surely let you know incase any place is available. I suggest you live closer to the academic section and avoid any place outside the university, especially the suburbs. Some of my classmates used to live in the outskirts and it was a long commute for them. Hence, after the first year, they moved to the dorms and they loved the extra hour of sleep in the morning! A piece of caution though. I suggest you to not share room as your course demands focused attention for the next three years. Let me know if you want to know more about the weather, food places, and nightlife of the city. You can call me on my mobile after 5 pm. All the best for this new phase of your life. Lots of love, Beth
