We should have more interaction with local students, the teacher may not separate the exchange students in one single group

Final comments
I had a lot of fun, met new people.
Swedish people are very friendly, but I was not easy to find good friends amoung Swedes because the erasmus network is very big, and a lot of exchange students are always together.
Well it is up to you, I am improving my swedish everyday and I am trying to find a balance between beeing with erasmus students and with the Swedish students.
To finish, I really recommand to go abroad, and Linkoping is a very good choice, I feel like a real student :-)
so don t hesitate, just do it, you won t regret it, and if you do I will take the responsablity.
