Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
it was really comfortable to live in an apartment,although a little far from the main building where the classes were held the "campus escort" was available at all times.

It has been mandatory that we speak in English in the school and college i attended in India.The medium of instruction is strictly in English, Therefore i have very good command over the English language.I didnt face any language problem while i pursued the MBA at Ohio university,Athens,Ohio.

Final comments
If you are tarvelling by Greyhound always buy the tickets one week in advance.Its generally a cheaper deal than purchasing the ticket last minute.Always buy phone cards when you wish to call outside USA.You save alot on that.Always work on campus legally(20 hours a week) that way even if u don't meet interesting people in classrooms you are bound to bump into them at work.You must get your international driver's licence made in your home country.
the international student experience is a once in a lifetime opportunity for some of us,Never miss it.
