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

Final comments
Don't get caught up spotting how different this is from home. That's why you go! It can for a few seconds get you down that there are strange rules that you don't have at home, but they are easy to get over. The only people who did not enjoy their time at UVM, were the ones that could not let go of the familiar, and wanted to have their hand held by the university all the time. Remember, some times you just have to role with the punches. My last rant now: come here and you will have fun.

Personal comments
Let the Austrians buy the car, the Russians the Vodka, and the Germens the BQQ. Then, if you are British all you have to do is bring the jokes.
