HousingType of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Independent. I like to have my own house and be able to plan, work and do things as I please. I have lived with families before in foreign countries and it is brilliant to learn a language. However, I have reached a poitn where I would rather live by myself, or with people that are in the same situation as I am. When off course the appartment or house is large enough.

Also as an undergraduate at your own universtity, pick the graduate courses. That are not that high level, and more interesting.

I would do it again, and think it is a very nice place to study. Not the highest level education, but still very good. Especcially when studying in French.
