Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? 'cause you could spend your time with other English students
Personal comments:
my room was not too big, but the common part of the house were large enough, I never queued at the bathroom but it could be closer to the university.
