Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: shared flat
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: same
Why? to share a flat with other students is a great opportunity to practise the language, to get to know different cultures, to broaden the horizon and to make friends
Personal comments:
It's not difficult to find a room in a flat of students, it approximatly take a week of search. It pays to inspect and compare different flats.
