Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Visiting a city as a tourist and staying in a longer-term capacity as an exchange student are two different experiences. Although I was already familiar with the city, being an exchange student was a fantastic, enriching life experience.
