Why? Because, i think it's maybe better to meet more foreign people and to speak other langages, culture, to discover differents way of life.
Personal comments:
For me it was very good, because the flat was very big, the situation was pretty nice. I have lots of materials to cook, to clean the flat and my dress, and the price was good for the flat I had.
