KEY:

Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because it is the most independent way of living and nobody can give you restrictions
Personal comments:
there are also rooms directly on campus at ITAM, but honestly I have never seen them. Anyway there are a couple of "student houses" around the campus which are comparingly cheap and fun to live in
