Overall
I wish I had known...
In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
I really like the atmosphere in the campus Lindholmen, however professionally and socially a bit alienating. The relaxed, laid back pace and the project based work are a really good mix. Not sure it reflects or prepare in any way to actual work experience, but as a learning environment it is very self-serving.

Academic
Course recommendations
Be strong and take difficult decisions in advance, because the programme doesn't provide a lot of guidance in itself.

Personal comments
It would be better to redynamise the Lindholmen campus, and make it feel more a part of the school, while now it feels really remote.

Personal comments
The proficiency of natives in English is very wonderful. However, that means that it makes all the more difficult to learn the local language because people tend to switch back to english instead of swedish if they notice that you are not good enough.
