Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

Personal comments

The housing offered by this university can be very good if the student is lucky enough to get it in one of its new buildings. Otherwise I have heard colleagues complaining.
