There is a shortage of exchange student rooms in Uppsala, so sometimes you have to wait for a vacant exchange room.

Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: In a student hotel
Why?
There is a nice student lodging, Basic Hotel, just in the centre of Uppsala. Both campus (Flogsta) and Basic Hotel have lots of foreign students, but Basic's location is much better.

If you stay in Campus, make sure you are put in student room where you have your own bathroom (and share kitchen + tv room). Some student rooms are Duplex, which means you share a kitchen and a bathroom with someone. I lived in a duplex a month and found myself feeling very isolated, since my flatmate wasn't too social. When you share a corridor with 12 people you have better chances of making friends

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The student apartments (though hard to come by) are wonderful!! Cheap, spacious and often close to the city center. (It was easier for me to get one because of my Swedish boyfriend, who's also a student...but the student rooms are nice, too.)

Everything was great. The life in the corridor, the chance to know other cultures. Last but not the least, the several parties we had had!
