Personal comments
The housing at the sheffield hallam university is managed by the accommodation office. For international student there is a chance to apply for a university accomodation prior arrival, but I choose the way of finding a house in the so called 'house hunting week'. Therefor the office offers trips to houses, owned by scrutinised landlords.

Both, student accommodation and private accommodation have their pros and cons. The first one is more expensive, but you get to know a lot of other students you´re living with. The second option is normally cheaper and it´s "your" house...

At the university's accomodation office you can get a list of free rooms/houses but you have to organise the search by yourself. It took a couple of days to find a room, during this time I stayed in a hall of residence.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because I could be more integrated with other students. Living in a house sometimes makes you feel a bit appart from the rest of students.
