Housing
Type of housing: Off campus student apartments
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: the same place
Why?
It is a perfect distance to get exercise and beautiful scenery on the way to school, is in town centre and has good chances of meeting like minded students

Personal comments
Of all the university's own housing, I feel that mine was the best - although they asked rather a lot in terms of cleaning when we left despite how it was when we arrived
