Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Apartments and Houses tend to be more spacious and you also have the opportunity to live with other people while still being able to have time to yourself.

ESC Lille does not have any university accomodation therefore you have to find your accomodation yourself, although there are apartments nearby.
