Personal comments
It is difficult for exchange students to find accommodation as the university does not offer places in dorms. Anyway, there is an event where you can meet future housemates which is helpful.

Final comments
Bear in mind that you will not get a place in a dorm and that you will have to spend quite a lot of money. Go to the House Search Event as you get in touch with all the international students. Try to live close to university even when you have to pay more, it is worth it.
