HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: a shared small room
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why? to learn the language you must get out of the american sub culture and the small group of students at suffolk
Personal comments:
This is clearly the recruitment manager's personal business. Her uncle owns the residence and profit is more important than quality.

Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Anywhere away from the university is better - this place is full of socio paths (and that is just the faculty & staff - including Christian fundamentalists!)
