HOUSING    
by Veronika, Ludwig Maximilians Universität München, Munich, Germany
Philology, Erasmus
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: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? You've all facilities on campus you need for everyday live, and it's a good way to get in contact with other students, from abroad and from Poland
Personal comments:
I was content with the accomodation in the Student Hostel, but it would be better if you could decide to live in a single room (normally all rooms are double). One negative aspect: sometimes there were misunderstandings between certain foreign and certain polish students.
