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: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I like the privacy of living in our own apartment/house.
Personal comments:
It's very good, although a bit expensive. There are lots of apartment complexes with good facilities, e.g. swimming pools, laundry rooms, sports courts. Shuttle buses from/to compus run every 10 min. on normal schedule and they are pretty convenient.
