Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:

Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Cause the rental cost of the free market flat is the same as in the campus, i could pick the flatmaids etc than, but on the other hand i am happy that i didnt have to worry about searchin 4 the flat when I came.
Personal comments:
Most of the foreigner students are putted to the campus quite far from the center - Mukkula, so U have to buy the monthly bus ticket and its quite expensive, and u cannot come back home at night.But the place is nice, as all the availible campuses in the town. The rent is almost the same everywhere, if u ll add the price 4 the buses to the Mukkula campus.
