Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I think is a lot easier you dont have to worry about looking a place: UNIL has very good houses for students with all comodities. There are a lot of students to share your spare time.
