HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Although University accomodation seems to be expensive, it is cheaper than private accomodation. It is close to the University and you live together with other students.
Personal comments:
I always had severe problems when I had to deal with the accomodation office. It seemed to me, that the accomodation office is neither capable nor interested in offering rooms to students.
