Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
You have your personal freedom, can choose where you want to live (city center or rather near your university) - and if you want to stay in contact with people from the campus, you can visit them whenever you want to.
