Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I couldn't get almost any privacy when living in the dorm with another roomate, though as the roomate was american I had the opportunity to get to know his culture.

The dorm room was small for two people,but there were other exchange student who paid more and got into an on-campus apartment, which was quite nice.In the spring semester now I live in an apartment too, and the difference is huge!This one is much better.
