HOUSING

KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.

Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? To get to know the local people too and not only exchange students.
Personal comments:
Our accomodation was not far from the university. There were 7 floors fulled with Erasmus students. Usually 2-3 persons lived in a room. The room was ok but the bathrooms could have been cleaner and more equipped.
