HOUSING

Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why? The rooms are relatively cheap and close to the campus which makes them convinient for me.
Personal comments:
Private student houses are available close to campus at very affordable rates. This makes them convinient for an international student who wants to work at campus until late and take a bike home.
