Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I had more independence and in the student residences I would have had to share a room as well.

I had many problems to find a house in Bologna and it was quite expensive. At the end I had to share a room and I was not lucky with my flatmates either.
