Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It is the best place to gain experience in British culture as I could live with local students
Personal comments:
The house I lived was awesome because I lived with four British students and therefore was able to integrate with them and experience the real british student life. Facilities are sufficient for an exchange student, very considerate and thoughtful of the University housing service.
