Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
It was easier to meet people and to get into the irish culture as we were sharing the houses with irish people. Also, there were students from other countries which made us to learn from them and to share experiences. That environment was a motivation to study as well.
