Personal recommendation
there are a lot of erasmus students so it's easy to stay between people coming from your own country but this would be an error because the best of erasmu is to stay with people coming from different countries

Personal comments
Learning a foreign language most effective if it is done in the courntry itself. Next to that when you have to study in it, you'll learn really fast. For the first months of university was sitting there and trying to listen what they where saying, but through the year your language will aporve rapidly.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because I liked the independence. I liked that if I went away from home, not to have a cleaning and cooking lady to do things for me. I learned to live without my parents and that included all the luxury of having people doing things for me. I learned to go grocery shopping every monday afternoon. I learned to cook, to wash clothes, to do my bed everyday, to clean my own room and bathroom, etc. Things that at home I have people to do them for me. I learned to make my own rules and respect them by being responsible, etc. I would defenitely choose to rent an apartment and live there with a friend/s like I did that semester that I went to study abroad.
