Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Actually, I spent half of the erasmus in a private accomodation and the other half in a college. Both accomodation were fine, but I would rather choose a college because I met many many people and made new friends in the college.
