While abroad, all the international students are staying on campus behind the main building.  The building is named Lennon House, and it has been on campus since the 1930s.  We are housed on two different floors, and each student has their own room.  On each floor, there are three bathrooms, one at each end of the hall, and one in the middle, as well as two kitchens.  I would definitely compare the living arrangements to an apartment style of living.  Having our own rooms has made living with new people much easier because you can be around everyone if you choose, but you can also have your own space and have alone time whenever you might need it. Being in a new country has also helped everyone get along.  We are all out of our own comfort zone and we are all able to relate to each other which has made this transition a lot easier.  Although we all wish to make friends outside of the group, being able to have people who remind you of home and knowing that there is someone always looking out for you is very reassuring.  We are from all different places, but that common ground we all share has made good friends already.
