Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because it is well located (20 min from down-town, near the forest and the sea, in a student area). Moreover, I share it with two flatmates: one Spanish and Swedish. Therefore, the atmosphere is very international and friendly.

If you go to Hanken, choose Harustie as your accomodation. The apartment is cheap, many students live there, it is not that far from Helsinki and rooms are big!
