Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus

I lived in a very small but nice bachelor in campus where I had a kitchen, a sitting-bed room and a washroom. This kind of accomodation ensured me much independence, although a "collective" accomodation in of of the campus colleges would have been even better in terms of living a university life.

I've been living for one term on campus and one term off campus. I prefered living off campus: i was closer from shops, clubs, places to see and to go. I was living with four other foreigners (3 students and 1 workers) in the Korean part of Toronto, it was a great experience!

Personal comments
The language was a little bit of a concern before leaving because, although my knowledge was fair (I graded 590 at TOEFL), I did not have much conversational experience, nor I had taken any course in english. Anyway while facing some issues during the first couple of weeks, improvements were continuous and allowed me to gain a level of proficiency good enough not only for social situation but also for conducting business
