Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
To be able to have the rythm I want and not having to get up for breakfast, no influence on the menus... And I would not want to sleep 3 hours every night because a few students party all night long.

Personal comments
It is far from beeing the best thing I will remember from my year in England (because of the food and the lack of respect of a few student and everyone has to put up with it). But it was the right decision to live on campus because you are where everything is happening and where many students live. Good way to meet people.
