Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
FOR THE TIME, MONEY AND EFFORT WASTED IN REACHING THE UNIVERSITY. FACILITIES PROVIDED BY THE UNIVERSITY FOR ON CAMPUS STUDENTS ARE ALSO SOMETHING I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF.

Considering the fact that my level of English was already very high before going abroad (several courses and summers in english speaking countries, and a life time in an English school); what was more important from the abroad experience was to learn how to interact and communicate with different nationality people.
