The buildings don't look nice first. But it developed to be a very pleasant and exciting stay. And by the way there's an amusement park in walking distance:)

Cafe I liked most was "Smula", "Cafe Garbo" and the cafes in "Haga" - the old street in town. For going out there is are plenty of different types of discos/bars/pubs. I would recommend to go on www.alltomgoteborg.se

Course recommendations:
My choices were limited to overall business courses. I tried to get in to the computer science facilities, but at that time no agreement was set between the host university and my home university. :( Those agreements depend on your home university.

Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies/career
Personal recommendation:
I had a great time because I met so amny people from different countries and also experienced the real Swedish "city" life, as the city is the secong largest in Sweden and not just a university town. This was a real bonus for me, as I love discovering new cities. The exchange program at this university was extremely well organised. There was always an activity planned. For example, we were taken on a tour of the Volvo factory and also a famous brewery in Gothenburg. It was a great cultural experience and at the same time, I studied hard and partied hard.



FINAL COMMENTS

I recommend that every student who has the opportunity to do an exchange, should take it. It is a strong character building experience.
