Final comments
To travel and meet people is the best of this period as Exchange student. I've visited Helsinki (in a crazy trip in a ship with many people); Norway, but I think is better to do it in spring or summer; Copenhague, two times really good both; Stockholm of course; and several places in Sweden.....BEAUTIFUL AND LOVELY.
