Personal comments
As a new student in Geneva, it would have been nice to have had some more guidance. I actually found that exchange students were left a bit to their own devices. Fortunately, I already had many friends in Geneva, who either studied at the University or worked, and hence I always had somebody to turn to.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Having lived in Geneva for a year before I began to study in Denmark, I still had some great friends there who helped me find accomodation. I shared the apartment with a great guy, who is now one of my closest friends.

Personal comments
It is extremely difficult to find accomodation in Geneva, and I was informed by the university that they would not be able to help me in that regard.
