HOUSING

Public Relations/Publicity/Advertising, CEMS
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartments on a student residential area
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: In the same place !!
Why? We lived only students on that place, mixed the swedish with the foreigners.It´s the best way to meet people and enjoy your student life.The appartments also were pretty big and confortable.
Personal comments:
They arrange everything for you before arriving there.Pretty easy !! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
The courses were very well organised, however, there wasn't many opporties to interact with the Swedish students. It was very divided between the international and Swedish students. I believe, to gain a great cultural experience, one must interact with the locals.

Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English Was learning Swedish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Swedish How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) How much did you improve your Swedish?
My level before: Did not speak it My level after: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) Personal comments:
Scandinavia ans esp. Sweden are just amazing in speaking English. It's not easy to learn Swedish, since they always change to English if they notice that it is hard for you to speak Swedish. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
Go there! ;-) FINAL COMMENTS
Travel along the Bohuslän coast - its so beautiful if the weather is nive. Go to the Skärgarden of Göteborg (islands, archipelago) you can go there with your tram ticket... and travel! (Lappland, Finland, Norway, Estonia (TALLINN - very nice!) and there is a grant from a rich guy who donated all his money to student and student life in Göteborg. but you can only get if you are there during the summer termn, but the student union will tell you. for me it was 400eur (for 1 year) and for the people staying only summer term 200eur.
