Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
On campus housing was fine and everything was pretty close. The downside was the immense cost and the strict rules. I would recommend coming 1-2 weeks earlier and looking for either appartment style housing or contact an outgoing exchange student for a sublease agreement of his/her flat.

Very clean, spacious, well equipped appartment style on campus facility (Riverbend Commons). Very safe: 24h guards, keycards, locks on ever individual room. There is a computer lab and TV room, broadband internet in every room.

Final comments
The exchange couldn't have been better. I met many interesting people from all over the world. Plan ahead, because time passes very quickly on an exchange (especially travel). Travel much and don't hesitate to approach others - they are mostly very friendly and open minded.

Personal spending habits
Travelling is naturally an important part of the experience when abroad. I spent more money for food because in FInland it is very cheap to eat at the University which was not the case in the U of M.
