Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Besides from there being no other choice, it was really important to get in close contact with the local students.
Personal comments:
You live closely with 7 other students in a corridor, share kitchen and a living room. Your own room is fairly big and has shower/WC. Laundry facilities etc are close and for free. Rent is not cheap, but includes everything.

Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
If you want to get to know swedes do not only go to the english tought classes, you will meet all the other exchange students there, but no swedes at all (or nearly none). And you will learn swedish mch faster

Didn't like it.
Exams throughout the course

Overall
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English
Was learning Swedish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Swedish
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
How much did you improve your Swedish?
My level before: Did not speak it
My level after: Basic phrases
Personal comments:
English is not the mother tongue here but every inhabitant can speak english...so it is easy to understand and make ourselves understood! The teachers do not always speak very good so the improvement could have been better for us...but we couldn't expect more, otherwise we had to go to England or America!!!

FINAL COMMENTS

Go to valborg in Uppsala, if you don't know anyone there or/and can't get a ticket for the night still go there it is amazing. Going up north is pretty cheap if you take either a stand-by plane ticket or the train (a bit more expensive, but you see much more). Har det bra Jan-Eric
