Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
A lot of exchange students live in Pasila and if you take the costs into consideration it is a good location (5 mins away from the centre). The appartment is wel equiped with an oven, freezer and microwave
