Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because you can do whatever you want to,you would have cooking facilities and would not be dependent on the cafeteria as american tastes are much more different than I thought, more space, more freedom/independence

Personal comments
Actually I thought it was bigger,nevertheless I felt really secured and if I needed help there was always someone at the front desk to help you. If you are living on campus you it is easier to get in touch with other students and it is of course nearer to the business college.
