HousingType of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
You do not have the opportunity to live on campus, the rent for an appartment is not too expensive and if you have the opportunity to share an appartment it is both social and affordable.

I spoke pretty much the basics at arrival, but it was not a problem to keep up in class and I rapidly became more and more fluent in the language.
