Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? More space!
Personal comments:
It is okay for three months. I am at Wyvern Hall, which is one of the four different Halls. In your room there is bed, desk, cupboard, little desk and a mirror. There isn`t a lot of space but it will do!

Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
There is a pub at campus called the "DIVE". Most people go to the pub first and then go to a club in town. There is a busstop in front of the main entrance and at the back entrance. For people who are really into sports; this is a paradise! You can do lots of sports!
