Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
This was a cheaper option and I would have been surrounded by students closer to my own age (rather than Freshmen)

The university dorms excelled at creating a student community environment. However, the dorms are too cramped and too expensive.

Easily done. My slight British accent received constant good humoured 'dissing' but try to tone it down.. then they'll start understanding you. :P (no generally I didn't have any problems)(people do make an effort to understand you)

Too many to list but I'll try- Del Playa for student house parties, Java Jones for late night coffee, State street for affordable meals and lovely atmosphere. Didn't experience the bar scene as I was not 21.
