Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

I shared my apartment with a fellow student and the apartment was great. You are more independent when you live on your own.

Personal comments

The university did not provide accommodation to students if they didn't stay longer than a year. But I saw the accommodation they provided and I like my appartment so much better.Although it was more expensive.
