Personal comments
Living with a host family helped me pick up the language a lot quicker and made me more confident to make mistakes. Once you learn that no one speaks perfectly, you get the confidence to try, and once you try, you grow.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
I love being with native speakers because it forces you to speak and learn the language. It also helps you learn traditions, slang, and what the city is like and can offer.

Personal comments
I don't know anything about the housing at the university. I don't even know if they offered it!
