“In summary, it is a great place to study. A very nice, calm and not too big city with a wonderful location on a lake side. It situate in the middle of the southern part of the country so it is easy to rich different bigger cities, like Stockholm, Koppenhaga or Goteborg. If you do not miss the deadlines, everything will be very well organized for you. You do not have to worry about your accomodation, courses, internet access and so on.” Read Review

Type of housing: Apartment/House

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It was very well organized. I only had to apply for accomodation before the deadline and the guarateed the place for me.
Personal comments:
The accomodation, where I lived was superb. Most of the int. students lived there, so the atmosphere was great. Everybody had its own room (3 or 4 people lived together), there was a big kitchen and 1 or 2 bathrooms. It was well equiped and clean. And finally, it was in Sweden so it was important that it situated in the less expensive part of the city.

I studied Strategy and Technology. It was quite hard with a lot of group work and individual work. However, it was interesting, high quality and teachers were well prepared. It gave me not only theoretical but practical knowledge as well. But this is true for all of the courses I studied there (Project Management and Adv. Supply Chain Man.) And do not miss the swedish course it was very good and funny.
