Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Opportunities to meet other students from different cultures are endless. A greater ability to form relationships also as everyone is in the same position- knowing no one.

Personal comments
The housing itself was ok but the price of the housing was far too high- a price that was higher than what the Dutch students were paying for the same thing.

Given the dialect of the Dutch language there was quite a barrier to learning it- however if one persisted it is not that hard once the initial vocal pronounciations were mastered.
