The dorms are too expensive so to rent a room in an apartment is better.

Personal comments
The UIUC offers exchange students the possibility to choose one of their housing facilities, i.e. dorms. I lived in Sherman Hall - a grad hall - which I can highly recommend. In comparision to many undergrad halls, you can be really quiet in your room and the others are more mature than nasty (American) 18-year old freshmen. The location of all dorms is excellent, on campus of course - it took me only 5 minutes to most of my classes. However, dorms are definitely more costly than most appartments, but for one exchange semester it should be worth it!

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
It is easier to live on campus when I am studying, because the price of the room includes utilities and I dont have to make monthly payments, therefore I dont have to worry about those expenses. Besides, the dorm where I was living, was very close from law school, so that make my life there easier.

Personal comments
The room was small, but there were a lot of international students there, so I had the chance to make good friends. I had my own room but I share the bathroom with other girl, who now is one of my best friends. So my experience in the residence hall was very good.
