I'm currently in a private residence. Some of my friends live in the dorms - there's no individual accomadation, you'll have to share with 2 or 3 people. There's a shared kitchen. My friends told me there's a very active dorm life with games and constant activities and engagement. Each different dorm has mentors and supervisors. I would like to apply next year to residency.
