HOUSING

Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? At campus there were many rules as to what you could and could not do. It seemed to be better for younger students. I lived in a house with other unviversity students and we helped each other and did things together.
Personal comments:
The rooms seemed fine but as mentioned above the rules were made for younger students.
