Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why? I don't want to live alone, but I prefer living in a communty then on the campus.
Personal comments:
It wasn't that bad, but in the kitchen you only have 4 plats for 35 persons. The rooms are very small, but they havew a good price. You only have 1 telephone where you can only receive calls. They weren't many facilities as well
