Housing
(rent housing in Paris, France)
(Paris, France hotel)
|
|
Type of housing:
On campus
Arranged by:
Host university
If returning, I would choose:
On campus
Why? The main disadvantages of the campus life was high costs and no kitchens, so i could not cook although i really like to. But still, i would close my eyes on it in case of a return because renting an apartment in Paris could be even more expensive, the way from Paris to the school would get 40-60 mins without a car. And living in campus gives you lots of opportunities: quick integration and adaptation, lots of new friends, support, doing sport etc.
