Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison
Pourquoi?
It is enjoyable to live with other students in a social environment whilst also having your own space to study and have some privacy.

Commentaire personnel
It is a great experience to live in housing with international students of various nationalities, as you inevitably learn a lot about different cultures, become more tolrant as a person and most importantly, make some amazing friends for life.
Readers must normally be bought for every course and often there is a supplementary book also, so buying reading materials can be expensive if you are staying for the year and studying perhaps 9 or 10 courses. A good idea is to club together with your friends and share readers, which are specifically tailored to the course to not as good value as a proper book which you can use again.

Commentaire personnel
Almost everyone in the Netherlands speaks English ( and probably one or more other languages)to a very high level, which means there is little incentive to learn Dutch.
No, my University provided lots of information and I was able to meet with students who had lived in Groningen the year before.

Recommandation personnelle
Groningen is an excellent choice for your ERASMUS year. It is a beautiful city that is small enough to get to know it really well but large enough to have plently of life and culture. The university itself has a good reputation and courses and wide ranging and enjoyable. One thing I would strongly advise is to seek accomadation in a student house rather than a private flat, as this was probably the best part of my year away and makes meeting people very easy and non-stressful.

Be careful not to get ripped off by local bike shops who make a killing out of exploiting foreign students. A second hand bike should cost no more than 50 euros. Student rail cards can be bought at the station if you take your student card and a photo, which gets you a big discount if you want to go to Amsterdam, The Hague or wherever takes your fancy for the weekend.
