Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It was exciting to live in a house with 5-6 different nationalities.
Personal comments:

Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
There are a lot of bars, pubs, clubs, and places to hang out. For people from Europe it's a must to see such places as Tango and My Bar. Other places are pretty much as anywhere...at 2 o'clock everyone goes home....sees weird after european clubs.
