Housing
Type of housing: With 12 Mexican neighbours
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The house I am living in now is pretty close to my host university, only 5 minutes on foot. And moreover, my 12 Mexican neighbours are really nice and helpful for my Spanish learning.
