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.

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.

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.
