Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
BECAUSE I LIVE REALLY FAR AWAY FROM UNIVERSITY AND THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER ERASMUS STUDENTS WHO ARE LIVING ON CAMPUS; BESIDES, I AM PAYING THE SAME THAN THEM FOR A WORSE ACCOMMODATION.

Personal comments
VERY BAD: NO HEATING, NO HOT WATER, NO ENOUGH LIGHT,...
I THINK WONEN MIDDEN BRABANT IS A SHAMEFUL COMPANY.
I THINK THE AGREEMENT WITH TILBURG UNIVERSITY IS UNFAIS, BECAUSE THE UNIVERSITY DOESN'T GIVE THE STUDENTS THE CUALIFICATIONS IF THEY DON'T PAY THE ACCOMMODATION RENT.
