Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? The location is good and most of the international students live there.
Personal comments:
Housing at this university is really good. Good apartments (small but with everything you need), good location, great environment - all the students living together...really good! Besides, the prices are quite low!! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
