Not really. Surprises are good and more when you go on Erasmus where most of the people you meet are in the same situation.
In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!

Personal recommendation:
For an engineer is not the best University excluding the great deal with the Master Energy Program. This University is more for Nursing or Teaching degrees.



FINAL COMMENTS

It worths visiting the Scandinavian countries if you never had the chances. If you are in Sweden, I totally recommend go to Lapland where you can see the Northen Lights if you're lucky and experience a different pace of life.

FINAL COMMENTS

I would like to thanks all those who have been building the Swedish Civilization based on peace (which is a big culture here in Sweden, and not found every where). The free education which I get in Gävle is one of the fruits of this civilization. the courses I take here in Gävle for free with all the facilities I have had a free and unlimited access to it coste about at least 100000(one hudred thaousend)in some other palces (I would like not give coutries names), for alimited access to experimental facilities. I hope from my heart that those living in Sweden (Swedish or Immigrants)who have been lucky to be here and not elsewhere will valuate the golden chance they have , and most importantly make evrey effort to keep and ameliore the values given by this civilization. It can be not clear for Swedish people to knew what they have because they found thiers selfs automatically in a nice situation.
