Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Cordoba is a college town and most of the students lived in apartments around the National University. Would have given me more of an opportunity to see how they lived and interacted, especially since i lived a bit far from both schools.

Personal comments
I don't think they had any dorms. All students commuted from downtown Cordoba or surrounding towns.
