HOUSING

Business Studies, Independent
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: Host university
If returning, I would choose: independently
Why? It avoids any conflicts if one is not aware of host country culture but if its only matter of sharing and not interfering into each other lives, even sharing is good option
Personal comments:
The cost was too high and there were facilities that were not upto the cost paid. But it was good experience to feel at home with people from different culture and getting the feelings of a big world family.
