Final comments
If you are going as Erasmus student, don't miss the first weeks of interogation. I did, and I found it difficult to get to know people in the beginning because of that. But after a while it was terrific!

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why?
For me, it's important not only to live independant, but also with others. Living in a shared appartment has all I ask for. Anyhow, I would rather live in a new way if I'd go one more year to try something new!
