Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I think living on campus would have been more fun because more exchange students live there. But, I enjoyed living in the house because I lived with Dutch people, which allowed my to immerse myself more in the culture.

Personal comments
The accomodation on campus is small and crowded and you really have to not mind noise because there were insane parties all the time (it is quieter in the pink building though)

Personal comments
It is good in the sense that you really can party while you are there and not do work, it is bad in the sense that if you do want to learn, it may be hard to because you are given everything hands-on but you learn to bullshit because you have no clue what you are doing!
