Personal comments
the housing was nice in that it was great for meeting international students, but the rules that the university have are too restrictive. in the dorms, for example, one is not allowed to have visitors of any kind, and the students are monitored unnecesarily by cameras, not for security, but to be checked on for breaking rules

Personal comments
They offer host families, who do the bare minimum to make your stay nice. Often times they refuse to feed you fruit, and the portions are very small. In university apartments its usually 4 bedrooms with 8 students and 2 bathrooms. Living conditions are very crowded so its better to rent your own apartment. It will be cheaper too!
