Personal comments
It was clean, also nice, but too expensive! To get to know the city better, you should choose an accomodation downtown, not on campus!

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would rather live off campus and commute in, as the campus was not on the metro train system and further away from the city, with its employment/facilities/nightlife than I expected.

Personal comments
Accommodation with sufficient catering facilities were lacking, I applied and paid for self catering and got 6 people sharing a hotplate that could not even boil water. There was also a lack of healthy eating options and affordable food in the general store. Otherwise the facilities were modern and suited to study.

Personal spending habits
price levels vary within the categories, for example I made the experience that shopping in supermarkets is rather expensive while there are many fast food resaurants where you can eat very cheap, housing is defenitly more expensive although I also have to say that I lived downtown, which of course was rather expensive
