Personal comments
it is so much easier to learn a language when you are abroad and in contrast to my home university the language of instruction was also Chinese (much better!), because of the foreign students in the dormitory you can improve other languages easily, too

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
During next year I left my campus room, I live now in an apartment outside of the campus, it's pretty much better, and bigger for the same price.

Personal comments
Too much foreigners in the same building. If you want to learn chinese, you'd better stay with chineses.
