Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Undergrauate students in the US who live on campus are usually 18 years old, 5 younger than me (at the time I went abroad); it's a more independent way to live too

Personal comments
I had a good accomodaton, lived in a university apprtment (5 people, 3 bedrooms, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 1 common room); the other dormitories mostly are only double occupancy bedrooms with no possibility to prepare own meals - would not recommend living there. Still, on campus housing is a very good way to meet people!
