HOUSING    
by jlapierre, Ecole Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Tarbes, Tarbes, France
Engineering, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why? i missed to be in contact with a swedish family during my stay
Personal comments:
Sharing kitchen and living room with other exchange students or people was interesting; but it might be hard to keep it clean if you are unlucky with the people you are. But the housing is perfect and a nice way by bike (10 min) to go to the university

STUDENT LIFE    
by Romain, Institut Commercial de Nancy, Nancy, France
Management Science, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
If you are here only for one semester, try to choose the first one because the first two weeks (start mid-august) are integration weeks (Nolleperioden) and they are the best way to have fun and to meet other people! For the nightlife, Kåren (the university's nightclub) is not bad but you better take a cab to go downtown at Cleo (open all the year) or Grace (open only during summer).

ACADEMIC    
by Shah, University of Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Business Studies, Independent
My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
The e-commerce program had to select one more technical course for the program.



My opinion of the university assessment
Exams at end of course
KEY:
Liked it.
It was alright.
A bit annoying.
Didn't like it.
Exams throughout the course
Essays and/or projects at the end of course.
Essays and/or projects throughout the course
Overall
Personal comments:
Although group projetcs/essays are something where everyone should cooperate but if anyone does not then it's really hard to complete the job. Furthermore, it is better to cover that job too with own interest and finish the job in time. In my program i have heard from many other coursemet that their project partners did nothing in the projetcs and had to work fully alone. But we do not have any project evaluation process to justify the group work. We should have it.

Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English
Was learning Swedish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Swedish
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: At ease in most situations
How much did you improve your Swedish?
My level before: Did not speak it
My level after: Basic phrases
Personal comments:
The language of the host country was not that necessary in everyday situation. Therefore I didn't learn it a lot. The language of the university (before coming I had everyday knowledge of english) improved quite a lot my previous knowledge. I feel, I gained there a lot of experience according to english language.

If you have the possibility to come one year but you are afraid to do so, come anyway one semester and after 2 months, you will do whatever it takes to stay the next semester! ;o)



FINAL COMMENTS

LURC people, wich takes care of you when you arrive, organise lots of trips (Storforsen, Santa Claus' Village on Finland, etc.). But take a look at the STIL (sport association) because they also offer some (Orca Safari's Trip in Norway, Skiing trips, etc.)
