Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I shared a house with Irish students in the second half of the year. It was much more independent and more interesting. Also on campus accomodation is far outside the City of Belfast and i preferred to live in town.
