Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The campus of our University was out of Barcelona. So no interest living there.
The advantage of living in an apartment: Independence and also the amazing opportunity to have roommates and then to be able to build relationships with people who were first random persons, and now are like Brothers and sisters to you.
