Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The apartment I was living in was absolutely the right solution. I was sharing it with other students from Uni, and everything was fine. If I was to go back, I would like to live in the same king of housing.
