Housing
Type of housing: Homestay
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Boarding House
Why?
The Pondok Bugenvil is very comfortable, clean and nice. The price is also still acceptable, though very expensive for Indonesia (~100 Euro/month)

Personal comments
At MM-UGM (Master of Management) you have to arrange the accomodation on your own. It's best to do it there with the help of an existing exchange student or Indonesians.
