Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I would live in an appartment with some friends of mine because I think I would have more fun and because it would be less expensive too. My first choice was to live on campus because it was easier for me (I did notknow any body at the beginning to live with)
Personal comments:
The housing in FIU was good but kind of expensive. I found a lot of commodities like internet...
