Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Personal comments:
I am one who loves meeting people and sharing thoughts out of the classroom. I couldnt learn Swedish from the host students because they never interacted with International Students except at parties when they are Drunk.What can one learn from a drunk? The experience could have been better if the host students didnt lock themselves away

Should plan to study for a year instead of a semester --- but after I finished studying in Orebro, Sweden, I also exchanged to Osaka, Japan for a semester. Then I returned to USA in the June of 1999.

Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
