Housing

Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus

Personal comments
In my opinion, they have a big problem with the accommodation of the exchange students. There are a lot of them (more than 500), but only one or two persons working on this aim. Moreover, there are only few posibilities to live in a residence, which is better and cheaper, and I think that it could be nice if they build two or three more (living in a family, which is so common, has not been a good experience for most of the exchange students.
