Linköpings Universitet review by César
HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Personal comments:
The room is quite good, you have to share the kitchen with your corridor mates, and for me this was very funny, but you have to be lucky with your neighbours! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities, Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
All the students clubs and discos are pretty good - but they have the Swedish schedule! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
They are very good, but (for Computer Science) is quite difficult to get points compared with the other courses and careers. But, in the other hand, you'll learn a lot...

OVERALL
Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
hmmm... nope. But I already knew some Swedish traditions that every student should know In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
It's a really good university, it shouldn't change much. All the people (exchange student coordinators, teachers, etc.) it's very kind and polite. I really loved it. FINAL COMMENTS
I loved to stay here, and I'm sure every student should have a kind of experience like this, being an international student. This city offers you lot of fun and you can have lot of more friends, forever!! Tips: it's difficult to get in touch with the local students, try to know some Swedish "traditions" before. Anyway, it's very possible that you'll find people from your home country, too. The social security is not free! So please, don't get ill. BRING A LOT OF MONEY You can travel a lot, it's not expensive and it's really fun! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
