Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
bECAUSE i HAD A GOOD TIME THERE, THOUGH I WOULD PREFER NOT TO LIVE WITH ENGLISH STUDENTS BUT WITH INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS SINCE MY ENGLISH FLATMATES WERE NOT VERY COMUNICATIVE.

Personal comments
I have been learning English for years. I thought that when I went to an English speaking country I would understand many things.However, this did not happen. At first, it was really dissapointing because I could not understand people in the street, but I could understand teachers.So, Ihad to get used to asking for things many times because did not understand what I was being told.Moreover, english people in general did not make any effort to make us understand what they were saying.
Nevertheless, in the end, I managed to understand real English1
