Housing

Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why?

Because it's where all the international students live, where the cool parties are done, and where your meet everyone. It's also near the school. Don't go for tha shared apartements they are completely out of hand!
