Housing
Type of housing: a house with rooms for foreigner students or worke
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: in the same place
Why?
Is really nice to live with people from all over europe. The cost, facilities and location (only 7 minutes by bike from university)were quite good.

Personal comments
It is perfectly organised. They ensure accomodation for all the foreigner students at low prices. The only disadvantage was the delay in repairs and the fact that the cleanning woman only came once a week or sometimes even less.

Housing
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.
