Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I had an opportunity to share a flat with 2 other international students. We all supported eachother in learning the language. There was plenty of room, and the location was geart, so that we had a chance to sea the day to day life of Malaga and explore the Spanish culture.

Personal comments
Although, the Universuty wasn't very helpful in finding a housing, but it was no problem, since Malaga is very well prepared for internatonal students and there are plenty of flats for rent.
