Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
At campus there were many rules as to what you could and could not do. It seemed to be better for younger students. I lived in a house with other unviversity students and we helped each other and did things together.
