Personal recommendation
Attention because if you don't talk with the native students they will not talk with you. It is a private university so everybody is more close than in a public one.

In what respects to the language i did not learning a new one because my mother language is the same with little diferences. Although i learned about any other aspects, like personal, culture, life that i could not learn in every part of the world.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I did like very much to live in an apartment because i was in Brasil, where the campus residence has not very good conditions and it is located in a bad part of the city. Although if i had been in another country e.g in Europe, i would be appreciate to live in the campus because you have much more "student life", where everybody lives near and it is much better.
