Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Although University accomodation seems to be expensive, it is cheaper than private accomodation. It is close to the University and you live together with other students.

Personal comments
I always had severe problems when I had to deal with the accomodation office. It seemed to me, that the accomodation office is neither capable nor interested in offering rooms to students.
