Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It allows a more free structure and can be cheaper. It would also be closer to the town centre which this accomodation was not.

Personal comments
The accomodation at this university was really quite ordinary. Very old. Very cold. Far from the town centre and university. The food would have been some of the worst I have sampled. Pre-cooked and reheated.
