Living "on campus" usually means staying in a residence hall or an (1) provided by the university on its grounds. "Off campus" housing is sometimes available in rooming houses and apartments operated by (2) owners and approved by the university's housing office. Some residence halls are segregated by sex, and others are ‘coeducational’. Fraternities and sororities, i.e. closed and very influential student organizations, also frequently operate residences and offer accommodation to a limited number of foreign students.
Some institutions offer cooperative housing, where students/professors share self-contained suites or apartments and practice (3) life arrangement. There is a sort of (4) shifts schedule, which makes it clear who is meant to do what in the house and at what time.
In universities that combine high academic reputation with limited in-town campuses, it is growingly hard to find (5); so there are special housing services that you would need to register with and, then, take a several-month line. Thus, it is more than (6) to start your ‘housing hunt’ through Internet several months before your mobility starts.
Another lodging (7) may strongly discourage the newcomer. Many residences are in really poor condition. This is partly associated with the four factors. First, young people are (8) of ‘smaller disorders’ and do not take much care of the (9) of their temporary houses. Second, as their strife for privacy drives, students do not require much of their house lords, and are prepared to live in whatever condition. Third, they are so much immersed in their studies, research projects and social duties that they simply lack time for ‘trifle things’ such as (10). Fourth, university people are typically (11) of money, and have no resources for serious in-house improvements. This last factor forces them to shop for furniture and other (12) articles in ‘flea markets’ and ‘second-hand sales’ or even make their own furniture: DIY (= do it yourself) departments of shops are large and popular in Northern European countries.
Residence halls (dormitories) usually contain sleeping quarters, as well as lounges/recreation areas, dining rooms/kitchens and (13) facilities. Residents sign a contract/agreement to stay for a specified period of time and observe communal rules and duties. Cost of utilities (water, heating, electricity, Internet, etc.) is normally included in the total housing (14) that is charged by the housing administration or private house lords.
Dining halls are in the nearby of the resident halls and provide meals for rather (15) pay. But you should take it into account that in some countries, say in the Netherland, there are dining halls that are operated by fraternities, are for members only, and strangers may not always be welcomed there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
