Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It is fun to talk to the people (students) who also live there and the landlord's are not very strict.
The location is usually great and the cost is low.

Academic
Course recommendations
Try to get as much info as possible beforehand. Students do not evaluate the difficulty of the course very well and their views are missleading.

The organization of information delivering could be much more improved. The website of the university is a mess and you do not get too many info about manuals, courses, etc which is very annoying.
