Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would be more independant and with students of the same age. In the dorms, students are all underaged and most of them have never been out of Ohio!

Personal comments
The facilities meet the needs of most students, but it is sometimes hard to share a room with a totally unknown person, who has no interest for international things, in general.

Final comments
It is difficult to travel if you haven't got a car because distances are quite big and there isn´t public transportation.
Be careful with accommodation: it is difficult to find an available place to live, because there is lack of accommodation and it is expensive.

meet other international students, they are really helful, and they understand the problems you faces with.

It's nice to discover a new culture, but here the people are too often narrow-minded and hardly understand you are not American.
