Type of housing: private houses
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The University housing is actual houses/duplexs in the former canal zone
Personal comments:
The housing is in the area from La Boca directly under the bridge of Americas. Great Space, good security, and less than a 5 min. cab ride from downtown.

Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Activities: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Best party scene in Central America without a doubt. Calle Uruguay is a great place to be at night with all sorts of cafes and nightclubs. No real sports teams that I heard of besides soccer, which is dominated by locals. Great beaches and great traveling experiences. Great place for a surfer.
