Regardless how long you are planning to stay abroad, you will likely discover afterwards that you should have stayed much longer! =) So just go now and enjoy every moment of your student exchange!

HousingType of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I'd rather choose the student residences in the down town where the other students stayed instead of the private apartement in the suburban area.

Personal comments
The student residences in the down town are perhaps more expensive than the apartment I chose to have, however the social relationships would have been much more easier to maintain that way.
