KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.

Type of housing: Old woman's house
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The old woman was nice but in some ways I had the worst parts of both a homestay and an apartment, without the advantages. I basically lived with my landlady.
Personal comments:
I've heard that the residences are bad unless you are very religious.

It was really different from in the United States - so much depended on the exams. I thought the grading was harder, but I needed a lower score to pass, so it evened out.
