Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I spent the first nights in on campus accomodation and did not like it.
Personal comments:
At the university's accomodation office you can get a list of free rooms/houses but you have to organise the search by yourself. It took a couple of days to find a room, during this time I stayed in a hall of residence.
