Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because for me its really important live close to my university and moreover close to the city.The inconvenience is that you have to share the bathroom.

Personal comments
lke most of the people who studied in Chalmers I had my own room.You can choose a sharing room too if you prefer.In most of them you have the bathroom in your room and you have to share the kitchen almost in every different resident.

When I came to Sweden I was really impressed because everybody and not only people in the university was able to speak english.I have been in some other countries before and if you compare to Sweden it has nothing to do with their competence in this language.

Final comments
As a student travelling around Sweden its half price if you compare with adults.If you want to take a plane and you are under 26 you can choose really cheap ones(last minute booking).To go out you have to take into account that in lot of place the age to get in its 25 but thats true that exits places in which you dont need be over 26.
