Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Nightlife in Orebro is organized by the students community all week long. When I was there a typical week was structured as follows: Tuesdays, international parties at Tybblehall organized by the international community, one country per week. Wednesdays: P2, a disco downtown Fridays: KArhuset, the disco pub in campus Saturdays: Strompis, a disco downtown. Every night preparties in students' rooms, especially the international ones and afterparties either in the two "illegal" pubs in campus or in students' rooms.....can you imagine that!??!??!

Sweden is a high living cost country, especially for food. What is really cheaper is travelling, so : don't hesitate!
Food, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone: was more expensive than at home.
Housing: was the same price as at home.
Travel: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Internet is included in every flat on the campus. Internet room at the universitie is available even at nights! Phone cards for abroad (Eurocity) call are really cheap (~10 euros=8 hours to france). You can find quite cheap food in "Prix", near the university. A good tip for travelling: take the last minute ticket directly in the airport to go up north with scandinavian airlines (30 euros to go to lulea!)

FINAL COMMENTS

Even if the weather is not really nice there, this university is amazing and going there is a good choice for everybody (nobody around me regretted it). It's a real change in your life because it's a totally different culture. People are nice, respectful, quite (even when they are drunk!). It's a wonderful experience to meet this culture and this nordic mentality. The study organization is flexible, there are no problem (with eacher or administration). Don't hesitate to ask swedish students for good tips (shopping at prix, phone cards eurocity and others). The social, student and nightlife is excellent. Don't forget to keep money for travelling, it worth it! In summary : Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy!!!
