HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location

Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because in this way I'd have the possibility to choose the people I'm going to live with.
Personal comments:
To be honest, I was disappointed because I was 23 and I was put with students of 18 (very noisy). They should pay attention to put together students of the same age!
