Leiden is famous on its own. They have sincerity towards the reputation of the university and need of the students. They have been contimuously striving to give excellence. So most likely one could keep it in the list when you plan for abroad studies

Final comments
Ask university what is the easy way to carry cash to the host country and about public transportation, living, etc. Otherwise in a new city, one tend to lose a lot in the initial days. Moreover, search for grants because, actaul expenditure always crosses estimated. Also, enquire well on weather and climate if it'lls uit you.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It provides enough silence and concentration to study. It develops independency in self-cooking, house-keeping and to be more responsible.

Personal comments
It was done by the University through SLS wonen, a private agency for seeking housing. They charge 75$ which is slightly high, however, students new to the city find it convienient to avail the facility. The housing is carpeted and spacious with enough ventilation and good ambience. Caretaker at the apartment is helpful giving infos on the city and for safety.
