Research about accommodation for foreign students

Background:

London is a very big city, all the foreign students who want to study there, have to face on a big problem; accommodation.
You can choose between a big range of kind of accommodation. So, before to make any research, you have to think about what is better for you, what you want exactly; live in an English family to integrate to real English life and traditions, live alone in the city or in the campus to take your independence or live in a shared flat with other people to make friends easiely and practice english.
But as everyone know, accommodation is very expensive, sometimes students spend a very high rent to live in a small, dirty and not safe place, very far of the university
It is quit difficult to find information about different areas of London, moreover you can not see your flat or your room before to go on the country. You can not evaluate the time to go to university, what kind of transportation is better to use.

Aims:

That is why the purpose of our report is to find out what kind of accommodation students prefer live in and how they find their accommodation, where they live and how much it costs, and if they are satisfied with it.

Method:

The research was carried out by means of a questionnaire of 10 keys questions. The sample size was 20. These respondents were of different ages and genders and from different countries. they are all pre-sessional students of London Metropolitan University.

Hi Claire, there are some great points to the background, but it's too personal, you need to take out all the 'you'. You should also give a bit of background about the pressional course to put your research into context. There are a few errors of language- far from, arrive in the country. Aims and method are good, but take out 'that is why'
