If returning, I would choose: or youth hotel or an apartment
Why? It depends how many days I'll spend there. Less than 1 week, I'll choose youth hotel, more than 1 month, I'll hire an apartment.
Personal comments:
For a student, I think the housing conditions are good. We can find many international students there.

We need the exams and essays during students' life. But we should not consider the exams are to passe exams. To learn the knowledges and to make it be used by ourselves is the object.
