Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

Majority of the erasmus students lived in one building, mainly on 3 floors!!! We were something like 30 in one building!

If you live in the building in Leliestraat, it will be incredible, but very difficult to explain... you need to live it.
