4.08 / 5 based on 648 reviews.
Description:
Lund University, with its 7 faculties and a number of research centres and specialized institutes, is the largest unit for research and higher education in Sweden. Lund University was founded in 1666, partly in order to tie more closely to Sweden the provinces which had been ceded by Denmark in 1658. Since then, the University has developed into a modern, international centre for research and higher education.

Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? The main goal of my Erasmus was to get to know new cultures meeting people from other countries. I think that a student house is the best way to do it.
Personal comments:
Everything was very well organized. I just needed to apply quite early (April 2005) for an accomodation and the university took care of all the rest. At arrival day I just had to pick up the keys and I was taken to the my appartement by the university mentors. Scandinavian people are very well organized in life in general.

Overall
Language of instruction: Swedish
Was learning Swedish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Swedish
How much did you improve your Swedish?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
Although the swedish spoken in south of Swden (skåne) differs from swedish spoken in Finland or in Stockholm (capital) area , once you get used to the intonation and to the rhythm you pick up the languae very easily. Language used i by professors is easy to understand , and everyone will modify their pronounciation to make it easier for foreigners. Overall knowledge of english is excellent, like in most scandinavian countries.

EXPENSES    
by Veronique, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada
Economics, Student Exchange programme for Canadians
The accessibility of student needs
Second-hand text books
KEY:
Very easy.
Minimal effort.
Accessible but required effort.
Almost impossible.
Second-hand household items
Computers / Internet
Administrative
Money from home
Main source of funding:
Government assistance
Other sources of funding:
None
Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work
Personal spending habits:
It simply the cost of living there that differs in some areas.
Food, Telephone: was more expensive than at home.
Overall: was the same price as at home.
Travel, Nightlife, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
The most cost-saving tip i can give is try to talk to students that were there the semester before, because there is a huge chance that they have second hand stuff that are really useful. Also, go to Tiger. Really the best student/cheap store ever!

FINAL COMMENTS

Final Comments: Scandinavia offers you beautiful nature and wilderness! When you study in Lund you have the opportunity to see a lot of it and I can recommend it to everybody. I travelled a lot in Scandinavia and have seen beautiful things. One final tip for this, take the train to stockholm visit the city a couple of days and go from there to helsinki by boat. Not very far from Helsinki is Talinn situated and this city is worth taking a look! Travelling by boat saves you money for hostels (night boats) and is a nice experience!
