Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.

Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: We were 3 of us.
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It is located between the city centre and the campus. The houses are normally bigger than the campus.
Personal comments:
I did not live in the university, but the rooms are small. They give lists of houses which help the students who all find in a few days.
