If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? I prefer on campus because it gives the perfect working atmosphere. Being in the student atmosphere gives the zeal and ethusiasm to work.
Personal comments:
The housing is fine in HUT. They offer at a reasonably cheaper price. Maintained clean and hygienic. Put together its a good place to live in.
