Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because it's cheap and you have the oppurtunity to get know a lot of French students

Personal comments
Compared to German dorms the ones in France were really antiquated: 2 hotplates for 40 people, no fridge, you have to move out during the summer...
But it's still the best place to meet people!
