Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would try to find housing in the city center at a private place somewhere. In the student house, there were a lot (too many) of strict rules.

Personal comments
The student house was a good place to live. A bit too many rules and regulations, but not too expensive and very well cleaned. It was a new building and things were arranged well.
