Housing
Type of housing: shared with 2 flatmates
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because living in the city center is much more appropriate for a foreign student who wants to get in touch with a new culture, than live in campus, out of the city.

I know from some other colleagues that it offers great assistance for finding accommodation. However, I preferred to find a flat in my own in advance, rather than wait until the beginning of the academic year for finding a place to stay.
