Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Campus is more expensive.
Personal comments:
Accomodation is rather good, but mandatory meal plans etc. make living on campus pretty expensive. Therefore living of-campus is more attractive for me. The public transport is not so good around the city, so buy a car or a bike or be prepared to walk some distances every day.
