A student heading to Scotland to study was left 'devastated' after her accommodation fell through at the last minute. Letizia Torri, 21, from Borgo Ticino in Italy, is completing her final year at university in Edinburgh but just one week before her term starts she was told this week, on Tuesday, September 5, that the room she was supposed to move into was no longer available.

This was despite Letiza having shared video calls with the current tenants and making plans to go out for dinner with them when she arrived, reports Edinburgh Live.Letizia, explained: "It was all super last minute.

I started looking in June but couldn't see anything for students. Everyone kept telling me to wait for August but now everything has gone."I had a girl message me to tell me they had a spare room coming up because the person living there was moving out.

It all sounded official, they told me she was 'looking forward' to moving out, and we had talked about dinner plans and things when I got there."It was difficult because I'm in Italy, we did a video call a few times, and showed me the flat and I could see boxes everywhere.
