Why?
I had such a positive experience living in an apartment with other students that i I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. On campus accomodation is great if you want to have meals cooked and don't want the burden of having to pay bills etc, but i prefer to do my own shopping and cooking because that is a very important part of getting to know the host country- you are interacting with the locals, and trying to cook food with ingredients you are not used to!Furthermore, living off campus gives you more freedom, and it pushes you to do things that you might not do if you were living on campus, ie paying electricity bills, and dealing with your landlord. Doing all these normal day to day tasks not only enhance your conversational abilities in the foreign language, but also help you to adapt to living in the country.
