I did not choose to learn Swedisch, because of the low advantage it presented to my career. However, I still regret my decision I made at the time!

Academic
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.

Personal comments
Phew, it has been two years now, but let me think. Café Tintin is the place where you get the best roasted chicken sandwiches. Right in front of that, you can find a student fraternity, the name escapes me for a moment, where they serve the cheapest beer in the city and that means a lot if you know that the exaburant prices of alcohol in Sweden. Jazz pubs, Irish pubs, free concerts, they are all there! Be sure to visit Oslo, Norways capital, and Copenhagen, Danmarks capital. These two cities are really close to Göteborg. And if you really want to be impressed, visit Stockholm, Swedens capital AKA Venice of the North.

I lived in a sort of studentcity where also socially disadvantaged lived. It was a great place to live in, do not get me wrong, but it was 30 min walking distance from university.
