Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
i would choose between a campus or apartment. on campus, because there you can find friends easily and you have better chances to socialize with people. apartment i will choose, because of his privacy and convenience.

Personal comments
i liked the wide opporunity to choose whit whom you wanted to live with. Also there was nearby a good and cheap place to eat and spent time in the evening. in conclusion i liked to live there. The school was near, the only bad thing was, that the city was far and sometimes we had to take a taxi, because the busses didnt go.
