Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because it's where all the international students live, where the cool parties are done, and where your meet everyone. It's also near the school. Don't go for tha shared apartements they are completely out of hand!
