Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because of lack of kitchen facilities
Personal comments:
Living in the dorms is a nice way of meeting people from many parts of the world, including the local population. The only disadvantage is the lack of kitchen facilities. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
