Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
There is no better experience than to live with 500 students from all over the world at the same place. It makes it really easy to get to know new people. To live at the Hatleberg Residence made my exchange semester to the best 5 months of my life.
