Housing
Type of housing: A big building with hundreds of rooms
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: A big building with hundreds of rooms
Why?
We were living in that old building with all other Erasmusstudents, so we got to know them very well. It was good craic, even if it was an old building with not that much facilities. No showers, an old kitchen, but there was a washing machine you could use for free.

But you have to book a room way in advance! And it is quite expensive over there, you'd better know people living over there...
