Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It was the best choice because of many reasons. The main one was to have the opportunity of sharing an apartment with other girls/boys of other countries who became friends after the Erasmus.
