Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

I think that living on Campus is great for Erasmus students because it is easier way to meet people and to be aware of the events in the university. But if I were to go back to work I would prefer to live in a quieter place.
