Housing
Type of housing: a dorm room downtown
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: the same
Why?
there are 5 places for exchange students , and only one is directly on Campus. But the main advantage of the others accomodations is that you feel like in a big family. Indeed, you leave in a student room and share living and kitchen but in a place where everything is made to make you feel like at home. Honnestly, it is really nice to be down town also. 15 mn by bike and you are at University.

Personal comments
Everything is organize by the Interntional Office. You don t have to handle your accomodation except if you want to stay for a little bit more than expected. I stayed until September and i had to found a new room for only two weeks because of the arrivals of the new semester exchange students.
