Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Living in an apartment enables me to be more independent, as well as makes me be more responsible in a day-to-day basis, as it's me who has to do the things.
Sharing an apartment is also a good oportunity to meet new people and build up good friendships.
