If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I think a house is more quiet than a Residence...and is also good because you can be more independente
Personal comments:
It was very nice when I was at the university, because I was with more student and I met lot of people there. This way I was practicing my english from the first day and the tiem that I spend at the University was much better.
