Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
By getting apartment for rent, it would be esier to decide take it or not. By living on campus you are awarded with a room that you are not allowed to change. Otherwise, campus is not a bad choice.
