Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Well it depends on the purpose of the stay abroad. As a student, it was good being in a building with others students. An apartement would probably be in the future more convenient, although I would not mind sharing the accomodation again.

The only thing I would suggest would be to share more courses with Czech students, because courses in english are mainly attended by international students.
