HousingType of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because you can know native young people that are studying aswell as you are and improve your foreign language skills. Also you have your own room and despite of that you can get together with them and know better about the host culture

Actually the University provides a Housing Programm and i have heard good comments about it. Also they help you to find accomodation outside the campus via mail or in the web page. Therefore I think they have a very good way of managing this issue.
