“My only advice is to try tolook for an apartment instead of trying to organize housing through university. It ismuch cheaper to have your own apartment and you get to interact with the local people much more.” Read Review

HOUSING

KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Staying in an apartment gives you a kind of indenpendence that you cannot really achieve when you are staying on a campus or in a family. I also do believe that it is cheaper and more convinient to stay in an apartment.
Personal comments:
Since I did not stay in a housing that was arranged by the university I don't have any comments.
