Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would have choose a different area to live in, as there was other accomodations available in nicer areas of the city (yet not as close to the school) and the same price.

Personal comments
The accomodations were satisfactory. They were conveniently located next to the school and in good location to the rest of the city. The accomodations didn't have the best facilities, location or cleanliness about them.

As an international student, it is really important that the school has signs etc... in english if it wants to be known as an international school they should promote themselves more as one
