Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I actually changed houses for my second semester, and I found a room in a shared apartment in the city. Both options (uni housing and independent) worked well for me.

Personal comments
It was pretty much what I expected: spacious, clean and with every facility one could reasonably ask for. It wasn't particularly luxurious, but it was ok. What I liked best was my flatmates, two American blokes and a Japanese girl. The neighbours were from all around the world, so it was a trully international atmosphere.

Macquarie University is different from other university in Sydney. It is more innovative. Many social activities are available and high quality education is provided. There is still chances to be an exchange student to study in US or EU. The career training and internship will be accessible as well.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
