Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Because our apartment was too far from the city centre.
Personal comments:
Housing was arranged by the host university, the price was reasonable, many students lived nearby so it was good enough. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
