FINAL COMMENTS

If you are planning to become an ERASMUS student, you should never miss EILC (Erasmus Intensive Language Courses). Halmstad University doesn't offer any EILC but you can choose another Swedish university giving EILC. I was in Hogskolan Dalarna, Falun for EILC. Even though it was a short period of time in Falun (only three weeks), it was full of my most memorable experience.
