HOUSING
by Andrew, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Melbourne, Australia
Management Science, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Corridor; own room, share kitchen and lounge..
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Corridor
Why? Most viable choise and allows for great socialisation with other exchange students and Swedes.
Personal comments:
The accomodation is great. You get your own rather large room with bathroom; shower, toilet and sink. Share lounge room and kitchen with six other non-exchange students (usually). This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Try to organice people with the same level of knowledge.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
The timetable is different every day... I think is better to do a static plan, and then you can organice yourself better. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. Was learning Swedish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Swedish How much did you improve your Swedish?
My level before: Did not speak it My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
In the beginning I wasn't really sure if I want to learn swedish at all, but I realized that if I really want to get to know some swedes I would have to. don't get me wrong, they nearly all speak perfect english, but when you go out with them they might not want to speak english with their friends all the time. And I want to know what they say to them anyway ;) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
