Type of housing: student house

If returning, I would choose:
Why? student house was perfect for this time!
Personal comments:
housing in Helmutsrogatan was great! quite new building. Generally Helmutsrogatan and Olofshöjd (much older) are the best accomodations offered by the university all the others are maybe better in standard but not so close to the city center.

Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
The nightclub Niva is one of the best discos in town! Also the Excet is amazing! You can find a lot of nice cafes in the town center. You should not miss "after-work" which takes place every friday afternoon, where you can eat for free in a lot of restaurants.

Language difficulties
Social

It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: Swedish
Was learning Swedish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Swedish
How much did you improve your Swedish?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
At the beggining it was very difficult to follow the instruction but my ability to do so improved very quickly. The projects were more difficult because it was hard to be the only one in the group who didn't speek Swedish as their mother tongue. Using English was there for essential sometimes but fortunately everyone spoke it.
