Student life
Describe host city:
Students interact with the local community without much university involvement

Activities, Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment

Personal social experience
Personal comments
Most of the nightlife is on campus as is usual in the States. The city of Fairfield itself is rather boring, but Archie Moore´s is a great place to go. NYC is close and it´s a great place if you are over 21!

Housing
Type of housing: Townhouse on campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartments or Townhouse
Why?
In the Apartments you will have a single room and share the rest of the facilities with 3 roommates. In the townhouses you will have even more space and this is where all the parties are. You have to share a room though.
