HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? London is one of the most beautiful cities I have been to. I would chose an apartment or house because it would allow me the opportunity to really live inside the British culture. Life on campus keeps you slightly sheltered
Personal comments:
The accommdations where rather good actually. I was given my own room which had plenty of space. Also in my building there were only about 30 people which really made it easier for us to establish deeper friendships. The facilities were also quite accommodating. Though, the location was a little risky after sundown.
