University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC)

The dorms are too expensive so to rent a room in an apartment is better.

I was not directly living at the campus but it was nice anyway.

The UIUC offers exchange students the possibility to choose one of their housing facilities, i.e. dorms. I lived in Sherman Hall - a grad hall - which I can highly recommend. In comparision to many undergrad halls, you can be really quiet in your room and the others are more mature than nasty (American) 18-year old freshmen. The location of all dorms is excellent, on campus of course - it took me only 5 minutes to most of my classes. However, dorms are definitely more costly than most appartments, but for one exchange semester it should be worth it!

The room was small, but there were a lot of international students there, so I had the chance to make good friends. I had my own room but I share the bathroom with other girl, who now is one of my best friends. So my experience in the residence hall was very good.
