Description:
With the former University College in Örebro becoming a university an almost half a century old dream has become a reality in our town - a dream that crashed several times against the reality of that time.

The Orebro Universitet's international staff takes care of everything before you arrive, when you arrive and during your stay there (parties, information, advices ...). You don't have to worry a lot before leaving your country. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!

Personal recommendation:
Go Go GO!!!! 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!!! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
Be sure that expenses that the stundents already paid at their home university, so the host university don't make them pay agian for the same thing, example, GYM FEE and STUDENT UNION FEE!!! FINAL COMMENTS
There are exchange students that stay at the host university less time that others. Going to their countries when the have came back to their home, helps to save you some money on accomodation and some meals! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
Don't worry about the weather; Swedes are open if you knock to their door, they're called "cold" because why should they be first to try to create contact with you? : go once, go again, and you'll REALLY meet them, then. FINAL COMMENTS
I would advise to visit website : www.erasmusfilm.com (also called www.simoisuedois.com) : a film (documentary) about exchange students. Gives a fair picture of experiences abroad... This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

I wish I had known that my host do not operate an equal access to research studies standard for all.No matter how much you excel, my host department gives research positions to its own. Thats why they rank at the bottom of performance every year In my opinion:

Personal recommendation:
Maybe things shall change in future when the present guard running the university goes away and those coming in to take over shall be more open to quality and accept foreign students into all aspects of University activities. FINAL COMMENTS
