Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
There are only younger students on campus and you have to share facilities with many people. Living with just four people was great for me and after a year they really felt like a family for me.

invite british students for a dinner or whatever. they won't try to get in contact with you by themselves. it's YOUR turn. so don't miss it to get the chance to improve your language skills.
