Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? It's so much easier and there are many people to talk with.
Personal comments:
I applied for a room in one of the colleges, but I didn't get any, just because on the basis of my surname initial i was low in the ranking. This was VERY disappointing.
