Start a department of art and performance art. Which should support students which want ta play dramma, music, and things like that. It will enlarge the things you can do in the evening.

Keep on going with the amazing variety of student activities. Never stop to spend money for the education the equipment as it has happend in Germany. Stay as open minded as it is, I enjoyed the uncomplicated contact with the teachers.

In the end I have to say that it was a great year for me, maybe the best of my life. Most of the people enjoyed their stay and I personaly extended my stay here from six month to one year, it is great to experience a full cycle. Never hesitate to ask for help or for anything else, Swedes like to give a helping hand, that is my impression, have never experienced something else. Enjoy your time!! Sebastian

Course recommendations

The course-system is totally different from the system i know from Germany. The classes are not that big and the communication with the teacher is much better than in Germany. In Sweden, it seems that everything gets done with group-work, at least i made the experience. In conclusion, I can say that it is a very different way of studying compared with my home university. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this way more than the german way.

To travel and meet people is the best of this period as Exchange student. I've visited Helsinki (in a crazy trip in a ship with many people); Norway, but I think is better to do it in spring or summer; Copenhague, two times really good both; Stockholm of course; and several places in Sweden.....BEAUTIFUL AND LOVELY.

Personal comments

If you really want to acquire knowledge in Swedish, you should know that it is really possible even in just 5 months...it is up to you! The 30 hour course of introduction are very worthwhile. But for going on you should try to speak as much as possible even if you feel it annoying not to be able to express anything; it is the only way for your success. Grammar is easy, just focus on vocabulary.
