Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I liked living on campus very much, because most of the other exchange students lived there too, and also native students lived there. So it was a good and interesting mixture of cultures and my friends all lived very close to me.
