Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It's really hard in the beginning and I would choose on campus accomodation for the first week. But campus life is just not the real life. It's really hard in the beginning, but whilst other college students were annoyed by there fellow roommates, I had the time of my life in my lovely little house.

Personal comments
The housing department is very well organised. If you really cant find anything they will help you. I found my house after looking at 3 houses and could move into the house within 3 days.
