Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would like to live where I lived because I liked it very much and it was perfect to me. I had a two floor appartment on the second, the fourth floor in the best arrondissment in Paris, the 6th Saint Germain de Prčs. I learned a lot about independence and i enjoyed my freedom. As a first experience of living abroad all by myself i have to admit that it was pretty nice and much more better than in hostals.

Personal comments
it was perfect. As the university is located in Villetaneuse in the suburbs, it was no question for me to live in Paris. In big cities the oppotunies are bigger, whether for jobs for meeting new people, fun etc.

On the one hand, because at home I live with my parents and on the other hand life in big cities is generally more expensive than life in smaller cities like Remscheid, where I live in Germany.
