Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Little cheap housing with less facilities

The university copes with all students to get accommodation but only thing is whether student can offer the price or not. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
