Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I need to be independent and I will have more freedom which is vital for my productivity and creativity.
Personal comments:
Initially the University provided rooms which had good facilities but,after a semester since the number of students increased it was very difficult to live with other students in a single apartment.So I looked for an independent apartment of my own.Moreover the University apartments were very expensive in view with the facilities they provide.On the other hand it was situated in a very butiful location.

Language difficulties
Social
KEY:
No problems.
I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Was learning Swedish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Swedish
How much did you improve your Swedish?
My level before: Did not speak it
My level after: Basic phrases
Personal comments:
Swedes are very capable of speaking English. Actually, i've taken a Swedish course in Falun (Sweden) before moving to Halmstad. Later, i've tried to practice my Swedish but i have never come across such a situation in which i had to use my Swedish. Whenever you have difficulty speaking Swedish, you can speak English and Swedes will perfectly understand you. This may sound great BUT you can not practice Swedish even in Sweden!!!

Personal comments:
The cost of living is the highest compared to education.Since sweden has a state funded education there are no tuition fees, expect there is very minimal fee to be paid for student union. Cost of living can be saved by looking for retail shops which have more imported goods, since swedish products are considered very expensive.
