HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? much more freedom of living and could fine something cheaper I think
Personal comments:
housing was really class but a bit expensive and the main problem is that my irish roomates are so messy and broke everything so my deposit isn't going back to me thanks to them This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
