Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because, despite the price, it would be worth to be closer to more foreign students and the accomodation itself should be better than the one I experienced.

Personal comments
It was a personal option because of the price generaly practiced there for foreign students. I had all I needed, in fact.Besides that I had a great environment at home with not so many people as in a campus,but quite close to the campus and also with other foreign students.
