Housing
Type of housing: University Residence, after appartment
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It is possible to get cheaper appartments then the residence, with better locations and facilities. Also it is quite in your own appartment and you do not have to study with the eternal noise outside your window.

Personal comments
University Residence - that's what they offer usually. Well, located in the middle of the island in a posh area. There is a free bus service from the residence to uni every hour or something. Pretty expensive, the rooms are tiny but they have almost already connected the internet to each of them where u can use the university account so u do not have to pay for the internet at all. The staff is very helpful. Always lots of people around parting, swimming in the pool, yelling, cooking, making lots of noise. Not a good place for studies! BUT a good place to get to know people and make good friends.
