Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
The rooms were big enough and you had your own bathroom. Additinally, the atmosphere at the campus was great because so many students, both exchange as Swedes lived there. You got to meet a lot of people!
