Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would rather live in a house with other young, foreign people. Moreover, this house should be more comfortable than the other one. On the other hand, I could live on a campus, but it should be better.
