Housing
Type of housing: Hall of Residence
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Hall of Residence
Why?
Although the services could have been better, I had the privacy of a single room and, at the same time, I could be with other young people.

Personal comments
I had difficulties in getting a place in a hall of residence, but afterwards everything was right:I make a lot of friends and the staff was nice.However, some things such as the cleaning service should be improved.
