I am Malaysian Born Chinese.
I would like to know what the criteria are for Westerner or Western student in choosing a hostel or rent a room outside the campus?
We, Chinese, is much care about an environmental art and the historical/background of the room we stay.
The environmental art something like 'six is sick', the sixth floor is the sick floor.
We care about somebody has died in your room or not? That is ghost after he/she died?
Are you merely depend on the feeling before you rent a room or stay in hostel?
Thank you very much for your discussion.
