Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
A room in a 4-6 room house gives you the opportunity to undergo a potentially rich intercultural exchange experience while at the same time providing for enough individual space.

Final comments
A learning experience abroad is, in my view, essential in the formation of people who want to become specialists in any field, because a specialist nowadays needs to get to know the world before (s)he gets down to his/her work.
