Mara S
Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I loved staying with a family and would do so again but I think I would be ready the next time to stay on my own or with roomates since there is more privacy and freedom that way.

Personal comments
Suffolk University Madrid was extremely accomadting. Moving there from the States was an enormous adjustment and the university was very helpful. Specificly, one of of my professors, Paco Frisuelo. He independently found my classmates and I housing. Without him, we would have been lost.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
living with an older person is much more difficult than living with younger people your own age. living with a younger person from the country is preferable, but you have the freedom that is necessary in order to live like a real resident. shopping for your own groceries and learning how to deal with people in the apartment building is also a very good way to go along.

There is very little choice about housing no matter what they promise - it seems to be a personal way for someone to get rich

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Some insist that living with a family is the best. However, I argue that I was able to live independently and chose my own camino for cultural understanding by having an apartment with two non-english speaking roommates.

Personal comments
In Madrid it is difficult to find a host family due to the cramped living conditions of most families in this large city.
