Housing in the university is really practical, but for the first year in the uni. I would prefer be independant and live wit postgraduate people.

Final comments
I am doing my Master at the moment, and I can tell that I will never forget this academic exchange year!
If you have this opportunity to go, don't think about anything else and book your tickets! I found my accomodation in 1 days, and I found a job and I didn't know how to speak the language when I arrived in the airport!:-) I met unforgettable people and my future husband!!!
However, you have to make sure that you take courses with groupwork! it's really important!
