Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
it is the best way to grasp the local life outside of university. There are so many foreign students that if one stay on campus, one will never have any idea of the locals way of life
