Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Dormitories were packed like sardines, noisy and had totally insufficient bathroom, bathing, clothes washing, and overall living quarters. And the food was beyond description - in the negative sense. We were also kept strictly separated from native students.

Personal comments
Accomodations - hah. The front doors were locked at a certain time and no-one could get in or out - can you say 'death-trap'? We were two to a room the size of one bed, there was hot water for one hour each morning and only three showers per sex for several hundred people, the water was TURNED OFF at other times, facilities for washing clothes were a rock and a faucet of cold water, it was unheated in winter, and there were no medical facilities available.
