Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I live together with two Italians in one apartment. That helped me a lot to improve my Italian language skills. On the other hand I really appreciate that I am not living together with a family because I feel more independent.

Personal comments
I can highly recomment to study abroad in order to improve personal language skils. It might be hard in the beginning, but its defnitely worth it. I would not suggest to study abroad without any language skills before.
