Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I am fond of my independence and I need solitude and extrem tranquility to study and work at home. I am also very fond of cleaninles and order and I would not like to have someone who can disturb all those elements I consider so important in my home.

Unfortunately many subjects of the English and Spanish Philology where held in German, something I could not understand, as we were dealing with English Literature, linguistics and history (the same problem with SPanish subjects).
