STUDENT LIFE    
by John, Universiteit Antwerpen (UFSIA campus), Antwerp, Belgium
Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Activities, Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Phew, it has been two years now, but let me think. Café Tintin is the place where you get the best roasted chicken sandwiches. Right in front of that, you can find a student fraternity, the name escapes me for a moment, where they serve the cheapest beer in the city and that means a lot if you know that the exaburant prices of alcohol in Sweden. Jazz pubs, Irish pubs, free concerts, they are all there! Be sure to visit Oslo, Norways capital, and Copenhagen, Danmarks capital. These two cities are really close to Göteborg. And if you really want to be impressed, visit Stockholm, Swedens capital AKA Venice of the North.

FINAL COMMENTS

To stay one semester at the School of Economics and Commercial Law in Gothenburg was the best thing I could do! It was wonderful. You should travel because this country is sooo beautiful! Sometimes you can find cheap train tickets and also cheap flight tickets e.g. with SAS. I can suggest the accomodation at "Helmutsrogatan".
