Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because of the independency and the chance to meet other people. Living in a shared apartment gives you a lot more knowledge of the people you are "visiting" than living on your own in a single room.

Personal comments
There is plenty of different opportunities - it really depends on what one likes. There is shared apartements, international housing, single rooms and a kind of dormitories.

Lack of airconditioners was awful in the first two months time. Location was perfect, close to everything. No car needed which is a great plus for exchange students

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Co-op or "off-campus" housing
Why?
The Saxony is the accommodation most recommended by the business school. most of the foreign students live there, which is fun. however, this place is incredibly expensive, cheaper opportunities can be found easily. for example, you can find tons of newspaper announcement, searching for a sublet. go for alternatives, after all, most of the exchange students actually want to live with natives.

Personal comments
sublets can be found, even in fall semester, which is more packed. the business school doesn't encourage alternatives to the save (but expensive) choice "Saxony"

Why?
Saxony's Apartments too expensive and shabby. New apartment building on the other side of the street: contact 608-251-8777 and 608-442-4200 (Madison property management inc.). Maybe they rent rooms for one semester.

Personal comments
90 % of the exchange students are at Saxony's - that's good for parties, but bad for your language experience. At the summer semester (Jan-May) it's no problem to find another place to live. At the winter semester (Aug-Dec) it could be difficult.

Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Living on campus is by far the best way to meet the local students and get fully integrated into the college community. Furthermore, living on campus is very convenient, since you are close to all the different facilities.

Personal comments
I chose private housing/dorms, which are a bit more expensive than the ones normally provided for exchange students. Nonetheless, I have no regrets whatsoever. It had a prime location, right in the middle of campus. It more or less only housed American students, which for me was excellent, since I only wanted to speak english and get some American friends, which I did.
