Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? It was located near the University and provided a close contact to other students.
Personal comments:
The dormitory was a quite new house which was managed by other students.In every flat lived 2 students who shared the kitchen and the bathroom.It was organized that no one had to live together with someone of the same mother tongue.That supported a faster integration.
