Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would choose differently, as then I would gain a new experience. The first place I stayed at was great, but if I stayed there again it would not be the same. Staying at a new place would be a new experience.
