Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
because i like indipendent life. i also like living with other people and looking for an appartment is a very good way to know people with a shared need: finding a house!
An apartment is also a form of responsability and frfeedom at once, and i like both of them.
