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 room exchange
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why? Higher exposure to intercultural communication, comparatively quiet and favorable environment for work as well as numerous opportunities to have fun.
Personal comments:
Very limited housing facilities mainly for undergrads. Good off-campus housing center. Help a lot.
