HOUSING

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Living in halls can feel slightly confined.
Personal comments:
Accommodation was well organised. I was given plenty of advice about insurance etc. I was glad however that I was not in halls, as they appeared to be of a poor standard.
