Luleå Tekniska Universitet review by Romain
HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It is really close to the University (5/10 minutes) and I really enjoyed sharing a flat with 3 other people of different nationalities.
Personal comments:
If you are to study for one or two semesters in Lulea, ask to be in Vänortsvägen, it is the closest and far best housing near the University. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
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
3.5 / 5
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Lots of courses are in english, and if the course you want to take is not, just try to ask the teacher about doing it in english. They are really helpful!
My opinion of the university assessment

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: French
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning French a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. Was learning Swedish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Swedish How much did you improve your Swedish?
My level before: Did not speak it My level after: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) Personal comments:
Sweden is a great country for english-speakers beacause almost every single habitant here speaks english. And the swedish language is not that difficult to learn. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
EXPENSES
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
Government assistance An ERASMUS grant Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Meet is more expensive than in France. You don't need to call anybody, we all live next to eachothers. You don't have any help to pay your rent. You have so much to see, you have to travel!!! Food, Travel, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Nightlife: was the same price as at home. Telephone: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Sweden has its own currency, when the exchange rate is low, try to convert a lot of money in crowns! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
OVERALL
Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
If you live in Vänortsvägen, you will share a flat, it is not a problem but I wish I had knew before going there. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
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.) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
