Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
it is expensive but apartments and houses with campus are well isolated. If you choosea private house,you will pay less, but your house will be worse! (rain in the house from ceilings!!)
