Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because living in a campus is a bit stressing if you're trying to work, with all the partying going on!

Personal comments
Housing is very good organized, and you can change your room in the campus very easily. Also, it is a great advantage for someone who doesn't know the place and the language, because you can meet lots of people from germany and abroad.
