Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would be more independant and with students of the same age. In the dorms, students are all underaged and most of them have never been out of Ohio!

The facilities meet the needs of most students, but it is sometimes hard to share a room with a totally unknown person, who has no interest for international things, in general.
