Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because they're much more controlled and you don't have to fear about landlords who are trying to screw you.

Personal comments
I would actually advice, even though sometimes it's very difficult, to go to the place and take a look there, without booking from your home country. Especially in Great Britain!! My house was extremely cold and in very bad conditions, but i could only do so and go there because the campuses accomodations usually accept you if you remain an entire year.

Final comments
I'd say it's been extremely important for my independence. I had already lived abroad, or alone, but not facing everyday problems where you don't know anybody. I think it's an essential experience for everybody, especially for those who have to learn a language.
