You are a college student in an English speaking country. You share a rented apartment with others but want to move to the college accommodation instead.

Sample Answer

Dear Sir or Madam,

The purpose of inscribing this missive is to inquire about the availability of any vacant room to stay in the college hostel. I am facing many obstacles with my current accommodation arrangement and hoping that you would arrange a hostel room for me from the beginning of August 2019.

I enrolled in ‘Master of Education’ in your college three months ago. I am an immigrant from India and before arriving here, I arranged to stay with a family through a private accommodation agency. Unfortunately, this accommodation is a stumbling stone in my studies because it is far from the college and consumes a great chunk of my time for the daily commute. Moreover, the food, which I think is not even palatable, costs me an arm and a leg. The current accommodation arrangement, bus fare and cleaning service are heavy in my pocket.

Resultantly, I want to move into the college hostel due to multifarious benefits. Firstly, it will save me from the daily commute and I can devote my time to my studies. On top of that, I can share ideas with my classmates and socialize with them more frequently. Last but not least, I can enjoy healthy food and save some money.

Hope you will consider my predicament and issue me a room from the beginning of August.

Yours faithfully,

Neha Sharma
