Housing

Type of housing: Student Corridor

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Same sa before

Why?

I would have preffered WG's (sharred appartments) but it is very uncommon here, if you do it, you would only share it with friends/people you have known before, the student corridors are the second best way of meeting people
