Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Renting a room with a family can be increadible expensive. If you can find someone to rent an appartment with it will probably be a lot cheaper.

Don't go on any trips arranged by companies, they are really expensive. Rent your own car instead with some friends and see Iceland that way. It's more fun and a lot cheaper!
