Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Having lived in my own apartment prior to my semester abroad, it was a bit hard for me getting used to sharing my living space with someone else like you will often do in an American dormitory.

Besides of me being older than most other students in the residence hall and the fact that I was used to living by myself it was actually Ok.

Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

It is somewhat cheaper and way more convenient to live off campus. in addition you can bring and do what you want. there are only few single rooms in dorms, esppecially for students in their first semester at the uiowa.
