1 Housing (rent housing in Rotterdam, Netherlands) (Rotterdam, Netherlands hotel)

Host university

If returning, I would choose:
Same as I lived in
Why? Most exchange students live in the I-House, the dorm that I stayed in. As such, you get to know all the students pretty well and always have people to hang out with.
