Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Living on campus gave me the chance to meet a lot of new and international people. I think this one of the best things it can ever happen to someone, since it is the best way to learn about different cultures, different work-methos or about how to match with people that is different from you.
Personal comments:
The housing at the Erasmus University was pretty good. It wsa so close to the university, and even if it was a bit expensive to be made for students, it was a great opportunity to meet people from different countries and cultures.

Overall
Describe host city:
Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Activities, Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
When you are stuck at home on a Sunday afternoon, De Doelen is the best place to unwind and experience a good free jazz concert. Biking is also fund and the best park so far I've visited in Rotterdam is the one near the Euromast. It is also nice to have a beer or coffee at the cafes and bars near the Cubic Houses.
