HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: a shared appartment
Why? It is more social to live with other students. And language improvements if you live with native speakers!
Personal comments:
I chose the accommodation myself. It was VERY hard to find something, but I was pleased when I found an appartment.
