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".

It's amazing how many people in Sweden are very well in english. You can ask who ever you want something in english, you will always get an english answer. So you can survive in Sweden very well without speaking swedish!

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.
