Housing
Type of housing: Flat/Apartment sharing
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
the core of this experience is to get in touch with international students and share, share, share! The best way to do this is living in a student house with other 26 people from all over the world!
