This University offered housing on its Campus, but it was not that cheap and it was very crowded.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
despite the high cost and all other difficulties in finding a furnished apartment for a specific period, there are benefits such as, independently choosing the location you want to live in, decide wheather you'll have a roomate or not,the ability to invite people over and your the personal care of cleanliness.

Housing
Type of housing: university accomodation, not on campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: the same
Why?
i would still like to live in university accomodation because one can meet so many people from around the world. However, if I was staying in Berlin for both semesters I would move to a flat/appartment for the second part of the year.

Personal comments
If you're English and feeling homesick then you could go to Potsdamer Platz and watch an original version film. Berlin is an amazing city and I particularly like going for cheap cocktails in Kreuzberg. There's also a really great Italian restaurant not far from the station.
