Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because when I went to Milan, I went there with my girlfriend and we wanted to stay together in the same flat. Therefore if I should go again to Milan it would be with my girlfriend again.

Personal comments
As the accomodation was not organized by the university, a comment on this does not make a lot of sence. But in generall I can say that the accomodation situation in Milan is difficult and rent is expensive. But if you try hard enough you can do it!

When you come from Germany you may have done a lot more already than students which are in the same year than you. You have to fight a little to get the work that challanges you.
