Personal recommendation
Go there when you're 21!
Also, Flagstaff is a small town so don't expect to have something interesting to do every day. But it's a good university with great facilities and the location is pretty good. Sunshine almost everyday!
The area is gorgeous!

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
For an international student, it's very convenient to live on campus. Everything is within a walking distance. All you need is on campus: dining service, athletic center and secure ans good atmosphere.

Personal comments
I lived in an apartment on campus with 3 other international students. I shared my room with one of them. I liked this international atmosphere but i was lucky to have easygoing roommates. However, it would have been even better to have at least one American roommate.
