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.

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.
