HOUSING

Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Student House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? More privacy, change...
Personal comments:
The housing company that deals with incoming international students is charging way too much rent. Moreover it is obligatory to take a contract through them. You can change your housing after your first contract is over. This may not apply for EU students.
