Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I was able to find an apartment living with 3 native girls who helped me out and gave me a lot of incite into the culture. But I didnt feel as restricted as I might have in a host family.

Personal comments
there were some dorm facilities but they were mostly for younger first year students. They also tended to be private and more expensive.
