Housing
Type of housing: dorm
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because I like cooking and eating home-made and healthy food, so I need a kitchen!

Personal comments
The dorms are nothing special and very expensive. What I don't like is that all the apartments available for the students are not furnished, there is not even light, you have to bring your own lamp if you want to have some light! and this is not convenient for an international student who arrives in Columbus on a plane, with a couple of suitcases but nothing more (for sure not a lamp!). So for an international student, moving to an apartment also means buying some basic furniture like a mattress, a lamp, a little table etc., and it is not cheap!
