* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
We were given an option to get 10 day housing and during those ten days find an apartment on our own. It was not an enjoyable experience to say the least. <br /><br /> We were given an option to get 10 day housing and during those ten days find an apartment on our own. It was not an enjoyable experience to say the least. We didn't know our university at the time and so I ended up being about 40 minutes by métro from my university. |
