Housing
Type of housing: Residence Hall
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Although I enjoyed living with international and Spanish students; if I were to return to Salamanca, I would choose to live independently due to my age, diet, and the autonomy that I have grown accustomed to.
