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
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It's an interesting experience to share an apartment with students from all over the world
Personal comments:
All the facilities and the service were excellent. Unfortunately, the housing service only offers contracts for six months which is quite inconvenient for exchange students leaving earlier as the whole six months have to be paid.
