Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because those are nice places, you get to know people from all over the world and you get to have good relationships with the neighbours. Also, because those are good options in The Netherlands, to be more exact.
