Housing
Type of housing: A student home by the university
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Basel is a small, university town where people from all over come to study or complete internships. At the student house you get to meet this people whom you get to share your culture with and whose differences you get to learn from. It's just a wonderful melting pot where people, like you, come and go, kind of like a condensed globe.

Personal comments
From my student home, it took 2 minutes to walk to the university's English seminar, and 5-10 minutes to the French one. My room was spacious and clean, and I share the kitchen and washrooms with the other 17 or so people on my floor. In the basement were an entertainment room, a television room, rooms for musical practice and two laundry rooms with coin-operated machines. There are also study areas and large sitting areas on the ground floor. It's a great place that's accessible to the Rhine, the grocery stores and popular streets for hanging out.

Housing
Type of housing: Found University residence after 2months in a flat
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because it gave me the chance to meet many other students and to practice the language with them, It's also a cheap option to live in the city center, normaly near the faculties and the resources are good.

Personal comments
They didn't organice the housing for you which is pretty useful when you are a foreign student searching for a room from your country. But in the city there are a couple of good university residences as well as many students sharing flats.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
It is more convenient and cost efficient than having to travel by bus and tram to get to the University. There would also be more of a sense of University life if one lives on campus.
