HOUSING

Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why? Because living so close to other English speaking students made it hard to immerse yourself in with the Spanish speakers. Also I imagine that living with a family could have exposed me to more authentic (and healthy) spanish food.
