Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice

Why? Plus facile de rencontrer des étudiants internationaux et d'améliorer ma culture générale
Personal comments:
L'appartement était très de l'Université mais dispendieux. J'aurais aimé vivre dans les résidences de l'université mais malheureusement je n'ai su que quelques jours avant mon départ que je pouvais quitter pour l'échange.
