Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
you have the possibility to live together with people from other countries and an appartement is often nicer than a room on campus.in france, the rent that students have to pay is supported by the state, they pay you half the price of the rent.so almost everyone can afford it.
