HOUSING

Language, University Agreement
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: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I like having an apartment of my own. However, I would like to live in a different part of town and in a bigger room. My room is very small, and still more expensive than larger apartments that I have seen while in Aachen.
Personal comments:
I thought they did the best that they could do. They had so many students come and the same time from all over the world. They didn't know any of us, and they simply had to place us in some type of housing. I consider myself lucky just to have a place to stay that is relatively cheap.
