If you have stayed in this particular housing before, was this a deciding factor for you to return and why?
We were at this property when I was in A100, Congen, and 9 months of language, and we really liked it. So there was no question -- we went back when I was assigned another language. I'm being sent back for a third language next fall, and we're already set up to stay there again.
