HOUSING

KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Everything that Luleå Tekniska Universitet provided was perfect. It was value-for-money and all that I could ask for in an exchange program.
Personal comments:
It was great. The committee and organization that does housing, Lulebo, was efficient and organized, making it easy to communicate with them whenever required.
