Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would live in the same house I was giving. It was two blocks away from campus. It was a high floor so it had a lot of light and it was close to everything.

I was very lucky with housing. I got one of the best. But I visited other students' houses and they were not very good.
