Why? When the fist day there i realized i will be living with 16 other international peolple in a big grey building i felt lost, but two hours later i met those people who became my friend right after and who taught me the best english i couldn't have imagined to learn. If i was to go back i'll definitly choose the same housing!!!
Personal comments:
i think i just did it previouly? I can add that we had big room with all facilities we needed like an internet connexion, a laundry, a big kitchen and living room with tv and everything.Besides i made friend there i still keep in touch with now.
