Although the university is quite bis with its 20.000 students you feel familar. I think the reason for that was the small size of the classes and the good communication with teh teacher. But at the beginning, I had problems with the bureaucracy at the university. For several things you need special card to enter, for example. But in whole, i really enjoyed the atmosphere at the Campus.

Try to travel and see as much things as you can. You will never have the possbility again. But spend money before you go. Otherwise you will probably get in financial trouble.

Work opportunities:

I didn't want/need to work

Personal spending habits

Offcourse you always spend more whilst away from home! However I guess Sweden is a little more expensive than most countries but its all part of living the student life in Sweden! Alcohol is the hard one, costing quite a bit more.

Overall, Travel, Food, Nightlife, Housing:

was more expensive than at home.

Telephone:

was the same price as at home.

Accessibility of student needs

Second-hand text books

Second-hand household items

Second-hand bedding

Administrative

Money from home

Personal comments

Brew your own beer and only drink spirits on special occasions! Also, make sure to try Swedish punch (spirit like).

Personal comments

Platen's, Platå are the two most common not-university clubs, there are two student pubs/discos: Hergår'n and Nationernas Hus. But more important (and more fun) are the parties at University usually that means two or three parties on one weekend, thursday or friday Krawall and on saturday sittning and eftersläpp (more formal but I think more fun)
