Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It was cheaper compared to student residences. Also, I like the fact living in a condo with a couple of nice roommates felt more like home than just renting a room at a residence. However, next time I would choose the location better, as living far away from campus and the city was sometimes not so convenient.

I didn't have any personal experience about University accommodation since I regarded it too expensive for me.
