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!

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!
