If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? If I come back to Shanghai I want to work, that is why I want to have an apartment closer to downtown Shanghai.

I choose to not live at dorm, bacause I found better, bigger and cheeper apartments just outside campus

Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Personal comments:
We often go go Nanjingxi street, a lof of cafe, bar, resturants. To have lunch, the favourit must be Element Fresh. If you want to see all of Shanghai, you can go to the 87 floor of Jin Mao, great resturant there as well. We usually to to western resturants, but there are a few good chinese as well.
