Personal comments
The housing is pretty good, clean and tidy. The things that could be better (and they are working on it now) is to provide a toilet and shower in each room (rather than the existing shared ones), internet points at each room, so you can use the fast university network straight from your room.

Final comments
My advice is - first learn as much as possible for the university (not from the representatives in your country, but rather through chat with current or former students), make sure you have the financial opportunity to study there, what is the ratio - students- teachers and good luck!
