Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
During next year I left my campus room, I live now in an apartment outside of the campus, it's pretty much better, and bigger for the same price.

Everythings much cheaper than anywhere else, except travel tips. China is really really a big country, there is so much things to see, you can't be bored. But the fact is, in you don't speak chinese, if would be difficult to see the real china.
