Informatics, Free Mover
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.

Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: off campus
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I would take care of my own hygiene. Some students in the common living dont clean the kitchen after use and dont empty the trash for days
Personal comments:
It was difficult at first because all the information was in Swedish. But when the housing company gave me the opportunity to log in in English it became much easier to locate a house on their website

Was learning Swedish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Swedish
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Basic phrases

How much did you improve your Swedish?
My level before: Did not speak it
My level after: Basic phrases
Personal comments:
Studying abroad is the best way to improve quickly your language skills : you have no choice of speaking another language and you can appreciate speaking it in everyday life (and not only in courses, as we all do in our home universities). I really improved my English written and spoken language and I now feel at ease when i have to express myself in english. Concerning the swedish language, there are no difficulties as every swedish people speak perfect english. You can still learn some sentences, just for fun!
