Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
In an apartment or house you have the oportunity to select people you want to know and to have all privacy you need. Living in house with your friends or with selected unknown people is like a family!

Personal comments
"Gringolandia" is the best house I lived. We lived in 7 to 15 people from all of the world changing at each 6 months, in a multicultural and continous exchange of experiences. The house was in a quite good area of Sao Paulo and 4 nice securities helped us in every problem. The Agenda was Grill&Party!!!
