Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I lived in University Residence because it was easier for me. You get to know loads of foreign students if you live there, but you can get cheaper and better location if you decide to find your own appartment.

Personal comments
University Residence is old. If you're lucky, you get a good appartment with nice roommates. If you're not... well... it might be better to move out before they make you pay the year accomodation.
