Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? I met lots of great people from all around the world.
Personal comments:
I lived on campus, which was actually a student housing complex 10 minutes walk away from the university. It was filled with both international and Swedish students, which gave me a great opportunity to practise my Swedish, as most of my classes were in English. Everyone had their own room with an ensuite, so there were no sharing toilets, which I was very happy about. There was a fully equipped kitchen that was shared amongst 4 rooms. Everything was very clean and overall, I was extremely happy with my housing arrangements. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal comments:
The accommodation at the Göteborgs Universityt is good with a lot of student offers (sport, animation, availability to travel around nordic countries for low cost..). However, the campus gave me the opportunity to meet a lot of european students. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
