Type of housing:

Arranged by:

If returning, I would choose:
On campus
Why? Next to the study facilites, getting a house on the free market is not common for students, very cheap. On campus security and doctor.

Students interact with the local community without much university involvement

Travel, Activities, Nightlife take/s place mostly within the university/student environment

Work opportunities
I didn't explore any work options.

Personal spending habits:
All areas of live, specially services, are dirt cheap compared to European standards.

I wish I had known ...
India can be really chaotic, even for someone with prior exchange knowledge of developing countries in Asia. You need to be patient with inefficiency and beggars.

In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
