Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I would like to have my independence. However, living with a family is extremely helpful with language skills.
Personal comments:
I had many friends who lived in university dorms, which were basic but it is fun to live among peers. Living with a host family was a wonderful way to integrate in the community and learn a great deal about the culture.
