It is good to find the days or seasons where discounts are available.Since normal travel costs are insanely high. Also if frequent travel is sought then travelling cards are much cost effective.It is always good to plan the costs before undertaking an venture.

FINAL COMMENTS

a good experience but an expensive country, this means that money is quite important here! people here are trusting more on their social system than on their own family.

FINAL COMMENTS

going by train is not very expensive, so trips to Gothenburg, Stockholm, Malmö are a must, in winter Kiruna must be really nice and really cold. In summer there a lot of beautiful beaches around Halmstad. A bike is a absolute must

Hogskolan i Halmstad is fairly a good university. You have lots of academic opportunities. It's a place to get an efficient education.



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.
